Good online source to buy Podocarpus gracilior?
Comments (11)Hi folks, thanks so much for your feedback. I should have clarified I was looking for 1 gallon versions. There are bigger ones available, but not the smallest ones. I did check out the other local nurseries, including home depot, but they're out. The younger the plant the easier is for it to survive in my yard. Ideally there'd be some homegrown seedlings available, but I don't know how to get in touch with someone who may have started a batch for sale. Any ideas? I could start a few myself, but have time only to water! Amy...See MoreDodonaea and Podcarpus - can they live together?
Comments (1)Dodonea can get about 10' wide at least. Podocarpus gracilior can get 40' wide (eventually). If they are planted 1' apart... In other words, pot up that Dodonea....See Morepodocarpus gracilior watering
Comments (1)Often enough to maintain even moisture in the rootball -- which may be every day or two. The soil surrounding the rootball will need to be irrigated less often (at least for a while) because the roots aren't there yet....See MoreDaylilies, Roses, Hollyhocks and the Maze of Garden Paths
Comments (12)This is the path where it forks by the Tasha Tudor Hollyhocks. Go right to the shade garden and the statue garden. Go left past the red Don Juan rose and daylily garden around the clothesline post, and into the back yard and the weeping willow Daylilies along the garden path across from the Hollyhocks and in front of Apocalypse Now and Peaches and Dreams HH. In the is bed are Lady Elsie May roses, a Mr. Lincoln, Stars and Stripes (miniature red and white), Echinacea Primadonna (white), Echinacea Magnus, Catnip, Red French Marigolds, 4 Other Daylilies, Blue Bedder Salvia, White Perennial Stocks, Maroon & Burgundy Chrysanthemums, Freesia (summer flowering bulbs), Phlox David, Phlox Nicky, Phlox Fannick, Lamb's Ears, Pink Flowering Almond, Climbing Don Juan, Province Lavender, white Feverfew, Asiatic Lilies, Swamp Spurge, Red Single Hollyhocks, Lavender Rose of Sharon, Redbud tree, Red Australian Canna and Lemon Canna (some escaped my digging them out), Liatris spicata, Penstemon, Damask Rose and Irises with Doublemint in the back. There are still big spaces in the center between the roses that need filling. If there are no bare spaces between plants, then there are little if any weeds to hoe out. Looking from the back of this bed to the path where it forks by the TT Hollhocks and the Buddleia bush My old closeline T-post now supports Don Juan. I'd like to get a pretty white fan trellis for it Every week this bed take on a different look as more plants begin to bloom Looking back toward the house You can see the path leading down to the patio garden (back left) and the rose garden (back right). To the far right (front) is the greenhouse entrance. The Jane Magnolia tree (center) shades it in the summer but is deciduous, so allows plenty of full sun in the greenhouse in winter and early spring when needed for starting my veggies and other plants. The Hollyhock (bottom left) is the Peaches and Dreams before it was blooming. Here it is a few days later in bloom - same view Looking towards the statue garden, you can see the path. Those pale pink flowers are Penstemon. Beyond this spot is the new rose bed I built last year. This is the rose bed I built last year. The Heritage Rose I posted first at the top is in here. far left in front under the Hollyhock. Betty Prior is the medium pink rose blooming at the back. It is the tallest rose in this bed. Fannick Phlox is in there with Blue Bachelor Buttons, Yellow Cosmos and a White Primadonna Echinacea to the right of the Betty Prior. Next to the statue is a tree Holly. It will be large and pyramidal in form. Here is another Mystery Rose in that same bed that I got from Kathy (She identified the one at the top as the David Austin rose "Heritage" or AUS Blush - thank you Ma'am!. It is the one center front next to the Dianthus. This little rose has a strong perfume. I sniff the blooms until I am sure there is no fragrance left in them. That is Rosa, Belinda's Dream behind her and Rosa, Mirandy is back behind the blue Bachelor Buttons. She needs to be moved to the front She produces huge Burgundy blooms with a strong spicy myrrh fragrance. Behind these roses is the large shrub rose mentioned above, Betty Prior. Dianthus and Cosmos All for now. ~Annie...See MoreParadise Nursery
