Does anyone have experience with growing Quenepa in a pot?
Comments (1)Andrew, If you look at the pic in the ebay auction of the grafted spanish lime tree you can clearly see that it does not have both sexes grafted onto the tree. In PR I doubt they would graft male and female because of the abundance of spanish lime trees all over the island there would be no need to include the male. The pollination would be taken care of without it. If you havent already I think you should ask the seller specifically if the male is also grafted. The sasa is not a hermaphrodite variety so you will be out of luck if you buy just one. I also do not know where you would be able to buy a grafted male plant....See MoreDoes anyone have any experience with this beautiful Redbud tree?
Comments (2)I have had one since spring 2012. It's in full sun. The leaves do look a little spotty, and not quite as good looking as the strait species come summer, but it's not too bad. It's my favorite Redbud. The only down side is once it stops growing the color gradually fades to all green (mid/late summer to fall). The color is only on new growth. So color is about 2 times per year (Spring and early/mid summer). The rest of the time it's just green. The better the conditions for growth, the longer it will show the color. So good moist soil and some light shade at noon would likely be ideal. Right now mine is all green except for a couple of stray branch tips with a little new growth....See MoreFabric pots?

Comments (0)Due to my frantic busy-ness to finish my final work for my computer graphics course AND then my getting a horrible virus complete with a high fever and very sore throat, I was not able to water my garden as often as I wanted to for the past month. Heck, I barely SAW my garden most days, just coming home and running for the computer to get more work done. And I'm just beginning to recover from that nasty virus. With the high temps we had, the denizens of my coir-lined elevated Garden Kitten wire basket became crispy critters. Bye bye purple petunias and pink calibrachoas, you will be missed. Sunken into my garden is a pot left by the 99 cent store junkie Chinese neighbors (they moved out and a very nice Chinese couple moved in), planted with Ruby Mantle sedum and Angelina, both succulents and therefore drought-resistant. THEY are trying to sneak out of their pot and become ground cover, which I do not want. The elevated spot in the Garden Kitten basket would therefore be ideal. But their pot is too big for the wire basket. Therefore, I was thinking of trying one of those new fabric pots, some of which are in very pretty colors, because hopefully it would be flexible and could be snugged under the wire Kitten face. Does anyone have any experience with these fabric pots? Could I leave the succulents outside for the winter as I did in their ceramic pot? Thanks for any info!...See MoreDoes anyone have any experience with a 'Freeman Hybrid' magnolia?
Comments (30)Sorry, he could have been, but it was so long ago I did this research I can't remember now. The part about being a community college professor is all I remember. I did find my email from Andrew Bunting in 2010: The Sequoia sempervirens we have on campus which does sometimes parade under the name of "Swarthmore Hardy" is from a plant we got from the Coker Arboretum in 1994 (i.e., the North Carolina/Venable tree, also marketed by Camellia Forest as 'Chapel Hill'.). We don't having any other old plants on campus. We do have a plant of Sequoia sempervirens that is about 30' feet tall that we got from the Barnes Arboretum in 1980. So I guess he means the larger S.s. on the Swarthmore campus, is the North Carolina/Coker/Venable tree. I can't say for sure because in spite a couple visits to the campus, I never noticed either one! As I said though, having owned clones of both for a few years now, they sure do look identical, so it corroborates Bunting's account. Now would be the time for someone to propagate the Barnes/U Washington clone! Sadly it isn't always easy. In 2016 I sent Cam Forest S.s. cuttings I collected at some elevation in the coast ranges after driving around for a day looking for one I thought would be in a 'cold spot'. It was a frost hollow at 1400'. Alas, the attempt to root them failed....See MoreKris
