Red Hall Tree - real name?
Comments (5)Thank you Eric. I agree that Hall Tree's are much easier to maintain and perhaps more functional in the house than out and certainly require far less fertilization. I appreciate the information as I had asked him to spell the name of his tree to do an internet search - I will inform him that he needs to hang his jacket on his current cultivar found near the edge of his woods unless he would rather just learn the correct name of it. Don't you just love how things get mis-represented with the English language? I knew the garden-forum people were the greatest and would come up with an answer for us. And thanks for the direct link/picture....See Morehall trees
Comments (2)I found a maple bookcase, and a neat mirror, instead. The bookcase gives me needed space for books so I'm happy. cocooner...See Morerefinishing a hall tree
Comments (1)Brand or date of of little consequence, unless you are interested in finding out the remote chance it is a valuable antique. Refinishing has a few steps, but to explain them will take a lot. - Remove hardware. Separate parts if done easily (e.g., unbolting) - Strip using a chemical stripper. Do not be tempted to "sand off the old finish." The latter is time consuming, risks damage, and does an incomplete job of removing the finish and color. Let dry. - Lightly sand - Apply stain, if desired. - Apply finish of choice. Here is a link that might be useful: see if you can find this book at your library...See MoreHeaven-Hell Trees hardy to USDA zone 4
Comments (45)BTW, here is another interesting Latin naming issue, although there appears to be an explanation for it (?) Anyway, according to the ACS database: 1. Pinus sylvestris 'Glauca Nana' http://conifersociety.org/conifers/conifer/pinus/sylvestris/glauca-nana/ is a different plant from (note that the two words in the cultivar name are transposed) 2. Pinus sylvestris 'Nana Glauca' http://conifersociety.org/conifers/conifer/pinus/sylvestris/nana-glauca/ Although, in this case, the naming of plant 2 appears to have been necessitated to differentiate it from yet another different plant 3. Pinus sylvestris 'Nana' http://conifersociety.org/conifers/conifer/pinus/sylvestris/nana/ When plant hunting, make sure whether it is plant 1 or plant 2 that you are bringing home. Plant 1 is hardy to USDA zone 3, whereas plant 2 is hardy to USDA zone 5. It is all according to the ACS database, I am innocent :-)...See MoreBethany Goodin
