Comments (28)nooooooo !!! .. lol ... i have to admit.. i didnt read all the replies ... see link that i often use in the tree/conifer and shrub forums ... dealing with this is not limited to fruit trees ... so the rules are the same ... but the one thing i didnt see in the replies i read ... is anyone addressing actually what the understock is ... these fruit peeps choose their trees.. based onto only on the fruiting part itself.. but choose based on what is below.. they will have to tell you why.. and for what reasons ... and you can not.. predict what the understock is.. when buying a big pot.. at the bigboxstore .. for that reason ... and the fact that they are mailed to your front door at the appropriate planting time ... many of us prefer mail order ... read the planting guide.. and you will probably find out.. you dont need to dig a big planting hole.. unless you buy a really big tree.. and most tree peeps.. dont believe in instant gratification ... as big plants.. have big transplanting stresses.. and can take years to get settled in and get established... as compared to smaller plants ... which can take off like rockets.. all things properly done ... go small.. get understock appropriate to your area.. and get something sublime ... as compared to what the local guy or store.. throws in the parking lot.. and your rewards should be great ... now all i have to do.. is figure out.. how i ended up in the fruit forum .. lol ... good luck ... ken ps: another trick.. is to talk with a local orchard ... they plant trees every year.. and they know what will easily grow local.. and often offer trees for sale... at planting time ... basically bare root stock they are planting.. thrown in a pot until you stumble by and buy them.. so they havent been in the pot long ... at least my local one does .... Here is a link that might be useful: link...See MoreMimosa Tree issues
Comments (4)tree has very heavy and concentrated growth from the ground to about half way up the tree ..... and I'm just wondering if it's time to say goodbye ==>>> as far as i am concerned.. yes it is ... the top of the tree was severely damaged ... probably winter ... and it is suckering its brains out from below the injury ... it is not uncommon.. for the damage.. to really hit home.. until the heat of summer ... perhaps you could spend the next decade pruning it back into tree form ... but in my world.. its would be a lot easier to be done with it ... and replace it ... perhaps with something a little more zone appropriate ... or i should say.. a little hardier ... a pic might change my mind ... good luck ken...See MoreMimosa Tree?
Comments (13)"I've never seen Albizia in an undisturbed area in the DC/Baltimore/Philly corridor. They only invade urban landscapes, railway embankments, highway verges, etc. Areas already disturbed by human activity." You could substitute any number of other species commonly described as "invasive" for Albizzia in that paragraph. I have a couple of seed-grown E.H. Wilsons currently growing in my yard. The largest (about three feet tall) got knocked down to a couple of inches during last year's harsh winter. I doubt anyone will have to worry about invasiveness here. And it's likely that disease risk will be much lower as well. Now if I could just do something about the effing Ailanthus and multiflora roses......See Morerhizo_1 (North AL) zone 7
