Comments (17)Floral you have a good eye for plants not native to the British Isles! I saw a funny picture on the web years ago: at some botanical garden in the UK is a Toxicodendron sp. in a wrought iron cage. If you cut junk or invasive plants at the base, you ought to treat them to stay dead or else you will be back to cut them again, and again, and again. My preferred method is a commercial glyphosate diluted to 25% and mixed with a bit of surfactant and blue dye for marking purposes. Bring a 3/8" inch drill, dental irrigation syringe and herbicide solution to "job site". Drill hole in cut stems and fill with the dyed "roundup" solution - aiming for at least 1.5" deep. Guaranteed to work as long as there's no rain to wash it out in 24h. Dose roughly as follows: anything < 1 inch, 1 hole, 1-4 inches diameter, 1-1.5 holes per inch diameter around the edge, > 4 inches diameter, a hole every 2-3 inches along the outer edge. (hopefully you didn't let the weed tree get that big!)...See MoreFriend or foe in the mixed border?
Comments (7)Yes, L. inflata will try to blend in but the foliage is a bit coarser than L. siphilitica and the flowers tiny as you confirmed....See MoreOnline Used Furniture Consignment: Friend or Foe?
Comments (3)We have a used furniture store in my smallish town. They buy out of estates in local higher-end communities. I have gotten several great deals there (with free delivery!). You do have to kiss a lot of frogs. See if you can find a couple of those kinds of places in your area, make friends with the owners, and let them know what you are willing to wait for. Visit frequently. Good luck! And, coincidentally, one of my buys was also a Palecek chair. My upholster recovered for $35!...See Morewanda
