I have Kudzu-how do I get rid of Kudzu?
Comments (31)I am sorry you take offense summer fashion -- I was just trying to point out that there are other places for this rare rose. As the grower of over 600 roses, many of which are rare, I try to do my part to keep some of these in commerce, and have given cuttings to many different growers. My initial question was simply directed at trying to figure out if I had the rose that was supposedly "the last one," and if I did have it, to get it out there to some distributers. FYI -- Cliff is the proprieter of Eurodesert Roses and he specializes in distributing rare roses. And to answer your question about Gregg -- no I do not think he would necessarily have driven down and gotten another one -- he has his hands full keeping all the roses already in his 4000 rose collection. I would be shocked if he were adding more, even if he happens to lose one. As for you complaint about "hi-jacking", I am sorry that you posted your Kudzu question on the rose board. Maybe you should have put it on the appropriate forum in the first place, rather than worrying about someone changing the subject of your post back to the subject of the board.

Comments (5)This is one of those times when you just do not need all those toxic chemicals in the commercial insecticides. Dig down to the corm.....hack at it a bit with an axe, and pour a gallon of ordinary household white vinegar on the thing. Vinegar is toxic to all plants, but it is not going to harm you, your pets or wildlife. It will smell like a pickle for a week, and that may repel the family pets, but otherwise it is death on the banana and no toxic side effects!...See MoreNewbie..How do I get a dwarf banana tree?
Comments (10)Wow, what a shame! Our Lowe's still has lots just sitting in pots outside and not being sold. They are nice too -- about 2-3 feet tall! I don't think a lot of people in my area even know about them. lol I really wish our Lowe's would send what they have at this point down to the warmer states before they get these 38 degree nights they're calling for tonight and tomorrow night! I'd hate to see those beauties get frozen and die. Maybe you can call some Lowe's in our state to see if they have them and/or can send them to the stores in your area.? Just a thought. Hope you find some!...See MoreHow do you get rid of elm tree seedlings in your beds?
Comments (3)I wait for an "after rainy day" and start pulling by hand. If not possible, I have a small shovel. If not possible, I mark it with colored tape and next time I have help, I cut it as short as possible and dab brush killer poison on the cut, while the other person holds nearby growth out of the way so I don't accidentally kill it while trying to kill unwanted. Some years are worse than others and in Spring 2015 I'm waging a brutal war against elms, oaks, etc....See Morecarrie751
