Comments (5)YOu can grow that in a greenhouse you just need a tall roof for the height. I am a member of another tropical website and a guy grows Zone 10 and 11 tropical plants in Kansas inside his greenhouse....See MoreDoes anyone remember how to grow African Violets?
Comments (33)Hello Lisa, why are you trying to grow a banana? Does it conjure up tropical images? There is one growing next door that is hated by the other next door because it sends runners under the fence. It even has bananas but is not a thing of beauty. Micro clime thing. North slope, no frost. No banana plantation was ever on the flat. Does that help? I'd like to grow Lily of the valley, tulips, daffodils and a few other things but i know they would be a complete waste of time so i do not bother Somewhat on topic. I love Drosera capensis but it is not growing as well as it should for something that is supposed to send seed everywhere. Comment re. Afican Violets.Beeeeeeeesssssssssts of plants, anyway they would take up space where i can grow orchids.....See MoreHAVE: Uncommon tropical trees for trade - fire wheel and african

Comments (12)I'm adding trees to my parent's yard I've tried to line up the trees I planted with trees they planted, to create a tree-lined corridor effect. The catch is one neighbor planted their trees closer to the street then people typically recommend today. (Maples like 13 feet from the road) and the other has trees much farther from the road. (Like 33 feet). I've also tried to keep the black walnuts I got far away from the neighbor who planted pines, and am trying to avoid planting anything big or evergreen in the spot my neighbor has a tiny sliver of view. One neighbor has young Gingko, birch, and Leyland cypress set back 33 feet from the road, the other has maples planted right near the road. (What trees look good with those?) I'm planting a row of small flowering things parallel with the tree line closer to the road and taller shade trees parallel with the other's. On the property line...One neighbor planted a row of white pine along the border. My parents hired a landscaper to put in a mixed border of Dwarf Alberta Spruce/hedges cut to resemble conifers/rhododendron along the same border. I've added holy to that in the hopes they will block below the pines when the pines lose lower branches. Want to add taller American Holly but never succeeded. I'd like to add a shade loving tree like American Holly or Beach between the two plantings, because I question the longevity of white pine in this location....See Moregrant_in_arizona
