ÂSo far in my garden, the Russian Persimmon is tallest and bushiestÂ. ThatÂs quite odd (to me) as I have grown the Russian Persimmon- and as a determinate, it was the shortest plant IÂve ever grown in the garden at 3 feet. (Seeds from Landreth), so I checked TGS as well. TGS calls it a 4Â at maturity. This is normally not a tall plant, and not normally more bushy than Early Girl. If the fruits are 4-6 ounce and dusky orange you definitely have a taller then normal Russian Persimmon.

momo3... thanks for checking in! just so happens that lots has been going on in the last two weeks, but it's still very incomplete. For starters, we had lots more digging while the pb's landscaping crew came in and buried some downspouts and dug out the patio and planting boxes, etc....but still no sign of the actual pavers that will make up both patio and pool deck....so PB does a total 180, sends the plaster crew out and lo and behold we were pebbleteched on Thursday and water was added Friday. PB will complete the patio and decks within the next 10 days...NOW HERE'S THE KICKER...the whole family left town for 10 days at the Jersey shore on Thursday, and we won't see the pool until the 6th! It's sitting in the backyard all ready for us and we're not there!!! PB is minding the pool while we're away, brushing and balancing, etc...esp. since he's building the patio all week anyway. Murphy's Law or what? I'll post pics next week when I return....have to check the log to see if you've updated your pics too...hope you're all swimming now!

Possibly Linaria. It speads by underground runners. Linaria foliage

The extra dark/light are ideal for closets, at least as a random board here or there, so don't throw them out! The shorties can be good for when you have a short (if you need 18 inches to get to the wall, it's a great time to use that 2 foot board). You're still going to have some waste when the installers start cutting. If Floor Tex installs cumaru, ask to see some of their work. If they do good work, they will be proud to show you. Also, you can get a feel for how they use some of the less desirable boards.
