choke cherry / wild cherry suckers?
Comments (0)I was wondering if anyone knew about propagating the suckers of what I believe is a wild/choke cherry tree. Do the suckers become more of a shrub? What do I need to do to move these plants? I don't have a picture right now, but it is a reddish leaf medium tree with the new growth green that fades to red of the rest of the plant. Any info would be helpful. Thank you....See Morepin cherry or wild black cherry
Comments (2)P. serotina: Two adult trees in our yard, several thousand seedlings everywhere. Roughly 99% die in the first year, but that still leaves me with dozens of larger plants that need to be pulled. Fruits disappear before I even see them. Others in our area get heavy infestations of webworms; I wouldn't mind that, so of course mine have none! I'm intending to replace these with trees that are friendly to both wildlife and me!...See MoreTexas Wild Cherry/Matt's Wild Cherry?Mexico Midget?
Comments (12)I think that tomatoes from The Dwarf Project are perfect for your garden if they will produce well in our heat. I have tried several before (Rosella Purple, Dwarf Mr. Snow and some other one whose name I forget) but it was in horrible dry, hot years where they did not produce well at all, and they started producing really late. I am growing seven varieties from The Dwarf Project this year and all of them have done very well so far. With more normal weather conditions this spring than in the other years I grew them, I am hoping for better results. The ones I started from seed on Super Bowl Sunday are growing in the ground (I was going to plant them in containers but decided I wanted one of each in the ground too) and about to bloom any day now....if not today, then tomorrow. You do practically need a machete to make your may down my garden paths in summer. It is nice and neat and orderly in April, and by May is nicely filled in and looking good. Then, in June it becomes a jungle. I kinda like the jungle look, but it does make working in there challenging at times....See MoreWild black cherry trees, move or remove?
Comments (7)I started out just cutting trees that were close to the house, then I expanded it to cutting loblolly field pines that were leaning towards the house and dangerous. Then I expanded it a little more to open up an area where I can put more attractive trees. And while doing THAT I discovered a lot of unhealthy trees that were just hurting the ones that could be better. And I just found today that a lot of my oak trees that I thought were healthy were being completely eaten up on the inside by ants! They cut one down that was right next to my garage, it was more than 36" in diameter but probably 20" of the center was completely eaten away :-O So now I'm having to take down the oak trees that are close to the house, too. As for moving them, I found this that worried me: Black cherry, like many large trees, develops an extensive taproot and therefore cannot be easily transplanted. Make sure you site your tree in its forever home for this reason. https://www.houzz.com/magazine/plant-black-cherry-trees-for-the-birds-and-bees-stsetivw-vs~67621489 With the smallest at 4' tall, I'm concerned that the roots might be MUCH larger than I can handle with a shovel! So I expect that, if I can get them dug up at all, it'll probably kill them :-(...See Morelovestogrow
