hydrangea tree
Comments (5)Hello, If you're looking for a hydrangea tree that can take a sunny location, the Quickfire, Limelight or the Pink Diamond would be great options. All of them come in tree form so you don't have to do anything on that front. Cottage Farms sells a Limelight and a Quickfire that you can purchase from QVC. I ordered two Quickfires and I'm waiting for them to arrive to be planted. I'm in CT so they've just begun shipping because of my zone. I already have a Pink Diamond hydrangea tree that I've had in my front yard for about six years. It came in a tree form and it's beautiful when it blooms. The only issue I have about the Pink Diamond is that it's still only about 5' tall. The mature height for it is supposed to be 8'-10'. I guess the time frame is questionable because it's very healthy so I don't know if it's just a slow grower or what. With the different material I've read, I've learned a few things that I will try to apply this spring/summer. Hopefully, that will make a difference in the size. I hope this helps!

Comments (3)My PD tree drooped severely in past years too. I think it is mostly from the weight of the blooms - especially after a lot of rain. This year I'm doing ok. Maybe because we've been fairly dry. Also could be because I removed at least half of the new growth in the early spring. Now the larger, more established branches are supporting less weighty new growth. And my blooms are quite large too. Next year I'm going to experiment more with a second pruning in mid-spring to keep the new growth a little shorter in some areas. I'd like to keep the canopy a little more symmetrical. We'll see how this works....See MorePink Diamond Hydrangea Tree attracts Flies
Comments (12)I know this is a very old thread but I found it searching for info about a pink diamond I just bought. It's been sitting in my front yard waiting for landscapers. Thankfully, I had time to observe it. It is covered with flies, wasps, hornets, and all kinds of zipping and buzzing insects by the hundreds. I drove around looking for others and sure enough they were all buzzing with insects. Now, I plant beds for pollinators. I garden organically- no herbicides/pesticides- not even on my lawn. I fully support the philosophy that all life matters. I wouldn't use anything that would kill the little buzzards. They're only doing their jobs. But this tree scared my kids and I had planned to use it for some shade near a future gazebo. I know that it will make my guests uncomfortable in the location I had planned for it. This is not a hydrangea for anyone who will be bothered (or terrified) by buzzing insects with the potential to deliver quite a sting. Sadly, I decided to return it. Just wanted to share this experience so another person didn't make the same mistake. Now, I'm on the hunt for a very small, non-flowering tree to beautify my landscape. :)...See Moreluis_pr
