two hazelnuts - very different growth rate
Comments (2)Just can be how nature operates. I've had clones of trees within feet of each other, and had one die and one prosper. So seedlings that are genetically variable can easily do what you are seeing....See MoreReal time growth rates of Mexican Post Cactus
Comments (3)Against a wall = hotter than usual, so you'd want to water more often, but a foot a year seems realistic, especially if you gave them some low-strength fertilizer several times during the main growing season (spring / summer). I'm guessing by MFPC you mean Pachycereus marginatus?...See MoreArctic Beauty Kiwi - rate of growth? Disappointed
Comments (4)Hi Al, Sorry for the late reply. I forgot about this thread and I guess it dropped to page 2 or 3 where it wasn't very visable. I do recall reading something that cats are attracted to kiwi vines. Not sure, but do they just roll in it, or did the cat actually eat it? If so, I guess they must like the taste? For winter I really don't do anything special to my vine, but I do pile fresh newly fallen snow around and over the vine, then cover with a box, then pile more snow on that. You probably can forget the box thing, it's just me thinking to eliminate some of the wind around the vine, but if it's under snow there shouldn't be any wind. I did some research so sort of answered my own question. One source said the vine is only a moderate growing, to about 10 feet tall. Not the huge monster I thought, but still should fill in the area nicely. It also answered my pruning question, saying in the second or third year, to prune it and allow it to develop one main 'trunk'. Anyways, I am including a link to a website about growing the Arctic Beauty Kiwi. There are a few sites on the web, but this one's unique in that it covers growing it in a northern climate. As it's fairly new in cold climates it's good to see some information on how it might perform.

Comments (37)I read this thread and kind of marvel. The effort people expend to grow plants in a hostile climate. I bought a $5 sago 40 years ago when I bought my house, it is over six feet tall The male flower is (like) two feet long, every year for at least the past 15 years. A flush consists of at least two dozen fronds , (or leaves) if you prefer. I have successfully raised and given away probably three dozen pups broken off from the parent plant. Most survive, maybe 80% but some don't. It gets cold here, we are at 1700 ft. elevation and freezes some years but I have never had a sago show damage from frost. Plumaria, that's another crap shoot, but the sagos do very well here. I have managed to keep twenty pups that are well established and in the ground. In other words, this climate is very agreeable for sagos and they are common all around here, seems like everybody has at least one? I'm not rubbing your nose in it here; I salute the effort to grow (what is almost a tropical), in a climate which is not suitable. Good luck. LB PS no coconut palms here, lots of King Palms but by far the most popular and numerous palm in this area is the Queen....See Moregardengal48 (PNW Z8/9)
