Yes, very nice color! Allymarie

Lucy, glad you had Mindy with you over the weekend and you had such a good time. Have a great day everybody. Pat

dont worry about the posts.. the more the better ... the spelling will come ...so dont fret that.. as long as it is close enough that we know which you are talking about ... but .... always a big but involved ... there are various types of sequoia ... and since i have none in my z5 [meaning i do NOT have a working knowledge of plants not for my zone] ... using the generic weeping giant .. really does NOT specify .. to ME ... which you are referring to ... so some further specificity in that way would help me ... now as to your specific question ... let me frame it this way .. an 8 footer is going to cost you ... WAG.. 3 to 500US dollars ... for a zone experiment .. maybe that is in your budget.. but not mine .... when i 'zone push' or experiment .. i do it with one gallon plants that cost under 35$ ... i do not believe you have totally ID'd your zone for us ... and there is no way for us to determine what if any MICRO climate there might be in your garden .... zones are minimum winter temps ... but added to that is winter sun.. and most importantly [the biggest variable] is winter wind ... if you have some nook where there is no wind.. perhaps in a swale.. but not where icy cold temps gather [a low spot] .. you might add one zone.. but if you are going for 2 zones or more ... spend all you want.. but consider the plant an annual ... that MIGHT survive a couple of years.. but sooner or later.. that bad winter will roll thru and kill it .. all the power to ya.. whatever you decide ... ken ps: are you familiar with the arguments AGAINST large transplants???? .. if not.. another post.. w/o the disclaimers of too many posts.. pps: i gave you that foxwillow link yesterday ... or i dreamed i did ... a quick check of the plant list or catalog.. will tell you whether they grow them with enough ease to offer them ... if they dont.. that probably says it all ...

hostanista I have got to stop for now...my soil is in my bad shape..clay...I hope to have it ready to plant in by spring...so everything is in pots...I do have several doing just fine in the ground..but I just wanna make sure its right before I dump anymore in the ground..
