Comments (25)Having been born and raised in California, earthquakes don't bother me much. A few years back we had a family reunion in Kansas and I thought it was pretty funny that the relatives from Kansas were all telling us how scary the earthquakes must be while all us Californians were worrying about tornadoes. I'd take earthquakes, fires and landslides over tornadoes or hurricanes any day! I think that most people are more comfortable with the natural disasters that they grew up with, but everybody has something to worry about, right? California will get a massive tsunami eventually, it's just a matter of time. In fact, there is a chunk of Hawaii that will fall into the ocean someday and trigger a mega tsunami that will threaten the entire West Coast. There is a similar situation with one of the Canary Islands that will someday threaten the entire East Coast. I think you would be hard pressed to find a place anywhere that doesn't have some sort of threat looming over it. That's why it's important to not worry about that sort of thing, just take every day as it comes and enjoy the beauty (and roses) that life brings your way....See MoreIs this normal for a Sango Kaku & what about bottom of trunk....
Comments (35)The mulch is very thin, not even completely covering the soil. Whose to say mine won't eventually bite the dust. It can still happen and I kind of expect it. I feel like I am on borrowed time. Remember, the first pic is damage from two falls ago as it looks now. There was splitting, peeling and lifting completely around the trunk and as you can see and pretty far into it - notice the gray wood. It continues today all the way up into the branching now. I don't think you have more damage but there are a few differences between our trees. One obvious difference is our zones. Another big difference is the maturity. I bought mine in the late nineties as a small whip meant for mail order. It has been in place since then so the roots are more established. However, yours has more mature bark than mine. Mine just only lost the red color at the stem about the same time as the damage was noticed. I don't have plates and furrows yet. As far as substitutions, I am not a JM expert but there is certainly no lack of them. There are so many beautiful trees. The only reason I grow this variety is because of the winter presence which is strong. The stems are redder than my dogwoods. It isn't my favorite leaf or shape tree if I had to run it against other maples during the other seasons. OK, I know I have a pic somewhere of a more mature tree at the NYBG during winter - it is stunning. It will take a little time, I know I keep promising these pics but I will try to find it before the weekend is over. They are on another computer. BTW, I am not trying to talk you into keeping the tree if you want another one. I can't blame you. I would probably want to move it too even though at this point it would make things worse. I am only comparing our plants. Even though mine didn't die, doesn't mean yours won't. Just offering a possibility that it might not. I wonder what your warrenty was on this plant? I know most places are one year but once in a while, the more expensive nurseris offer more time....See MoreMethimazole for hyperthyroid - my cat has had a bad reaction!
Comments (48)My vet told me that hyperthyroidism can mask kidney disease. The increased blood flow when thyroid levels are high helps the kidneys. When levels come down with medication the kidney disease shows more. Loss of appetite is also a side effect of methimazole. My 21-year-old has days where he won't eat anything but Fancy Feast. In addition to the methimazole, I'm giving him Thyroid Support Gold and Kidney Support Gold from Pet Wellbeing. Both with vet approval and he is doing pretty well given his age. It took a few month to get things on even keel....See MoreIs this something bad on my Rose's roots?
Comments (15)That's so true. I've just been thinking that I really need to replace this Rose because it has my favorite fragrance even though it's a bit of a prima donna. But I never had her in a good spot so I can't really make a judgment on her. I tortured her in her placement always. But she is has the most beautiful stamens and sent. Is also a bit of nostalgia about this Rose from me so I will replace it I think. I feel very emotional when roses.. Does anyone else have that feeling? It takes me awhile to replace that because I feel like I have to mourn that plant. I really need to replace Barcelona oh, Mac, and Margo Koster. Those are the ones that have died and now sugar....See More- 10 years ago
