I was quoting from a nursery site. However, this plant seems to be introduced by Garden Debut. Link below. There's not really much information on there. I do not know where to look up plant patent information. Usually though if a plant is bred specifically for hardiness, I would expect some information about that. Indian Hawthorns are not reliably hardy in zone 7A, and to see one listed as zone 6 is amazing. SO.....I would rather hear from someone who has actually grown the plant in their zone 7 garden (especially after THIS winter!) than trust a grower or plant introducer who may have been rushed in getting the plant to market before rigorously trialing it. For example, look at the many gardenias hitting the market that are listed as zone 6. I don't know of ANY gardenias that will not be damaged in zone 6 without major protection. But they put that on the tag. Here is a link that might be useful: Garden Debut - Redbird ('sPg-3-003')

Yes, I have one, but in the cool Pacific Northwest. It is a reliable annual bearer me, possibly because I thin heavily. Nice crisp texture, juicy and flavorful. Some tartness which I find good. I don't like apples that are sweet without the tartness like Hudsons Golden Gem. I got it from Raintree who bills it as a disease-resistant apple, and indeed it is free of scab. I don't spray anything on my apples and this is scab country. No powdery mildew or CAR. It is supposed to be a good keeper but I don't know about that. It ripens for me in September and I use it for fresh eating while my storage varieties are still ripening. On the M26 rootstock it has leaned over a small amount with no support, which you might expect with M26. It is neither vigorous nor slow growing. It has been easy to keep the branches spreading and open.

Lynn- We have 3 of these bushes on the southwest side of our house. We inherited them with the house. They were very spindly as they were in the shade. We transplanted them to their new, sunny location, cut them back to the ground and they took off like crazy! I think adding a sprinkler system helped, but I was really amazed. They're all about 3' tall and wide. Yes, they bloomed all summer, but didn't notice the hummingbirds. Unfortunately they're not by a window. The flowers are more orange than red. My only complaints with these shrubs is all the seedlings they produce and the fact ours flopped over by mid summer and I had to try to tie it up so it didn't smother our other plantings around it. I would strongly advise to give it plenty of room in full sun for best results. Overall, I'd give it a "positive" rating though.

I've got it, had it for several years in a trade from someone. From Heirloom Seeds: #154 - BIG RED 85 days - We acquired the seeds for this tomato from a family in southern Illinois who had grown it for generations, and was always simply referred to as that "that big, red tomato". The large vines produce 16 to 24 ounce huge, sweet, red fruit, with just enough "bite" for that old fashioned, home grown taste. Perfect for sandwiches, salads or just eating out of your hand! This is the tomato you remember eating from your grandfather's garden! First introduced in the United States by Heirloom Seeds. Indeterminate vines.
