Comments (1)Very nice. About the size of mine. I also have a slightly larger P.m. 'Honeycomb' that's supposed to have some gold color, but it hasn't had it since I bought it -- looks like an ordinary 'Sherwood Compact'...See MoreI know the look.
Comments (8)That's too bad, that was a wonderful plant, and it looks like it had thrived in your garden for many years. What do you think is the cause? Dieback of roots caused by high temperature and difficulty maintaining sufficient moisture to the root zone? Or fungal issues attacking the top due to high ambient temperature and humidity? I tried my luck with a Mexican pine, Pinus strobiformis 'Loma Linda', this year and over the past few weeks it has started doing the same thing :*( I sometimes wonder about these heat/humidity sensitive species, if there's anything one could do to help with zone pushing (and I'm using 'zone' loosely here). If the problem is a sensitivity to fungal issues at higher humidity for example, maybe an anti-fungal spray earlier in the season or anti-fungal root drench. Of course the idea of a chemical treatment for a plant already in decline sounds like it's bound for failure. But one does think about ways to improve success with these zone pushing exploits... I seem to remember earlier this year back in spring, that you posted a picture of your longaeva 'SC' focused in on the buds and one forum member suggested that some of the buds might have died...I don't remember the details though. How did that turn out? It looks like everything pushed okay in the spring. Smart approach dealing with the mugo, it looks completely natural. Alex...See MoreBed MPH -- middle pasture H Bed
Comments (4)"Chamaecyparis nootkatensis 'Green Arrow' .. a favorite ... wondering if i should take off those side branches for a more true arrow look .. opinion????" Probably wouldn't. It's a distinguishing trait for this cultiver to have this bottom branching. It gives it balance and appeal. You didn't design it anyway...someone else did who is a whole lot smarter then you or me. You asked for opinions...for what it's worth. I have Pinus banksiana 'Manomet'. It does get better with age. Believe me. "Pinus mugo 'Sherwood Compact' ... neat little plant.. who was sherwood??? or what??/" Pinus mugo 'Sherwood Compact' is another plant named by Andy Sherwood of Sherwood Nursery Gresham Oregon.
