Safe to Transplant Dwarf Conifers into Gritty MIx?
Comments (25)The media they came in was very similar to 5:1:1. The two 1 gallon pots got "half" barerooted, I got probably half the media out while untangling circular roots and loosening the sides and bottom. Then they were placed in 4 gallons of gritty each and throughly watered. They have been in the shade since. Had a good rainstorm last night and come out this morning to see my silver seedling dropped maybe 30-40 white needles, 0 green needles dropped though. I'm assuming it's a stress response to shipping (took 5 days) then a semi-bare-root repot and the heat of the last few days. Could anyone ease my mind on this, I would hate for it to lose all it's white needles....See MoreYield of Standard Peach vs. Dwarf
Comments (22)Thanks for the clarification Dave. You folks in zone 4 have issues growing peach trees I can only imagine. As I understand you, it's the timing of water deprivation which makes the difference. That makes sense. Perhaps depriving the trees of water earlier in the season negatively affects the ability of the tree to store carbohydrates for the winter, whereas if the water deprivation occurs later, the tree has already stored most of its reserves. You may be interested there is an experienced grower on this forum who deliberately water-stresses his trees to concentrate the brix of his fruit. He's down in TX though, so winter-kill is never an issue. Where I'm at, winter-kill generally isn't an issue either. But the trees can get canker, which of course can be exacerbated by sub-zero temps. Kokopelli5a, It's generally recognized dwarfing rootstocks dwarf by virtue of some degree of incompatibility with the scion. By definition, incompatibility involves reducing nutrients and/or water to the scion. The claim that Citation produces larger fruit is interesting. This is pure conjecture on my part, but I wonder if it works somewhat on the same principle as girdling. People that hold world records for the largest peaches lightly girdle the shoots so that nutrients flow into the shoots from the tree, but are not allowed to flow from the shoot back down into the tree (sort of a one way carbohydrate valve which super-charges the girdled shoot and any fruit on it). I could envision something similar from a rootstock designed w/ a slight degree of incompatibility. The rootstock would send carbohydrates up in the early development phase of peaches (when cell division occurs), but as the season progresses, some of the carbohydrates are prevented from flowing back down into the rootstock, and instead are utilized by the fruit. This would make the fruit larger, but the rootstock slightly depleted and more prone to winter injury in cold climates. Just a theory. If it's wrong, I'll go with the magic....See MoreDwarf conifers, anyone?
Comments (10)Yes, I am a budding conifer collector. Not sure where you are located, but Oelwein, Iowa is home to one of the most amazing collections of dwarf conifers you can imagine...all on a small city lot. Actually, check out the October issue of Garden Gate Magazine for a brief glimpse of Gary and Tom's garden. The Hospice Garden here in Independence also has a nice display...though, I have not seen it. Gary has been a great mentor for me, but I must not be a very good student. Not to discourage you, but I've probably killed nearly as many conifers as I've kept alive. I've had good luck with a few Larches, a couple Pines, Arborvitaes, Firs, and Junipers. Actually, those should all be pretty easy. Those pretty Chamaecyparus are tough in our climate. Gary has a whole garden full of them, though, so if you have the right microclimate you may do fine with them. We have a couple conifer nurseries in the area... Dyllon Plant Company is near Marshaltown. Hermson Nursery is near Farly. You will also find a basic sellection at the larger general nurseries. I've seen them at both Peck's in Cedar Rapids and Iowa City Landscaping in IC....See Morewill new linoleum install significantly lower resale value?
Comments (37)This sounds like a ??? I posted a couple of months ago RE:installing a new fomica countertop in my '84 condo, for resale purposes only. The cabs aren't new, have that ugly ceiling with the florescents under plastic(not to be confused with duck under glass!),and fairly new almond appliances. The present countertops are the 6" square used in that era, but have gotten a bit dinged up thru the years, not to mention that tile isn't being used anymore. The one new upgrade i've made is wood flooring, and that includes the kitchen~painted the old oak cabs ivory, and added a few trims to jazz them up. I was told I should do granite, which personally I dislike as it's *my* personal opinion, that's it's nothing more than a current trend. And how 'cheap' would that make the rest of the kitchen look anyway? My thinking was the formica would keep with the era and the rest of the condo, but the granite would bring 'new' into the equasion, and make it seem that I ran out of money and couldn't afford to replace the cabs, etc. Needless to say, I haven't done anything yet, but am still leaning toward the formica. What I would like to use is a solid matte black. I think with the ivory cabs, and dark wood floor, the black would bring in a look of sophistication. I would greatly appreciate opinions on this. Incidentially, I have the original linoleum in the two full baths(PR is wood) and will be relpacing that with tile, but it wouldn't stop *me*(obviously) from buying. Could be that i'm older and have a little more patience. The younger buyers want everything done so they don't have to be inconvienced~move-in ready. ;o) patty_cakes...See Moreverm_lady
