tHERE ARE SEVERAL FORUMS DEALING WITH SEED TRADING TRY THEM gOOD lUCK

Thanks for responding.... I did a little bit of research on the internet, but had just a few follow up questions: 1. As you can see in the picture, we have two other Euonymus next to the "infected" one. How do I prevent them from getting infested with scale? Are there any sprays to apply to them to prevent scale? 2. Can the scale "jump" or get to the other Euonymus? 3. I usually Wilt-Pruf in the fall. I negelected to last year. Does Wilt-Pruf help prevent the scale? 4. If we decide to pull it out, does anyone have a suggestion for a replacement bush? As you can see in the picture, we have two other Euonymus next to the "infected" one......this bed is to the right of our front door, directly under a large picture window. The only thing it is the Euonynus and the little Christmas tree (cant remember the name of it) next to the steps. Any ideas? I dont think we will pull out the other Euonymus, unless they get infected too. Thanks for the help.

Rosiew Did you locate a source for the seeds of the strawberry bush, euonymus americana? If not, let me know. I have them in the woods by my house and have transplanted some seedlings to my yard. I am sure there aren't any seeds remaining on the plants now, but I have tons of them each fall. e-mail me at lkleem@yahoo.com. linda

Wow, that's a lot of plants! I don't have a list of what I'm growing in my little gardens -- sometimes it takes me a couple of weeks in the spring to realize that that weird looking weed in the corner is something I've had for years. I just assume that more plants than not will grow in this area! One of the more unusual plants I grow is agapanthus. Not a particularly hardy variety, this was simply a florists' plant my mother gave me four years ago. But it's come up reliably every year for the past three seasons in Central Ohio. It's planted against a south-facing brick wall with excellent drainage, and apparently doesn't realize it's not in zone 8+ anymore! One of my mother's more spectacular plants is a 15 year old calamondin orange that arrived as a little "get-well" houseplant. It spends the winter on the unheated glassed in back porch in Cincinnati, and now stands over 6' tall in the pot, and is nearly 4' around. It always has flowers and fruit on it, and we've picked 200 ripe fruits at one time.
