Yes! I would like at least one of your male and female kiwi plants. Your other plants sound nice also ...did not do the reasurch on them yet. However I am zone 5 ...so I know I can't take your grapefruit...lol... I hope there is somthing of mine that you can find you would like. Stepaway7@hotmail.com Here is the standard post I have been saying on this site: I have a Purple Wisteria and would be willing to trade it for just about anything. The whole mailing procedure sounds a bit complicated so it would be nice if I could find people close in NY (I live in Yonkers). I would be willing to do all the transplanting. I probably should get rid of all my forsythia and hosta in the side corner of my house but I don't see why anyone would want any of that. I also have some red trumpet vine its just too big for the places its in now and would like to be rid of it. And it keeps shooting out little runners and making new vines ...anyway it would be easy for me to dig out a few of those and send. ...Same for my lilac (vulgaris) (purple) The plants I am interested in are but not just limited to: Phlox, Magnolia Niger, rhubarb, blueberry, any clematis, any dogwood, Marionberry, Annona squamosa, paw paw, any smallish flowering perennial. I certainly would trade all of the plants I listed if I could find a persimon. This post was edited by docgoose on Sun, Apr 13, 14 at 20:47

Your plants all look happy and healthy. In a few years that fence will be stunning, and even now it looks like it's a great improvement over the fence without clematis. Also, glad to hear that the Venus dogwood has done well. I've been thinking about doing a bit of zone pushing with one of the kousa hybrids.

Abies lasiocarpa var. arizonica 'Glauca Nana' is a good one but it may become larger given time than say Abies concolor 'Archer's Dwarf' which makes a pyramidal shape sort of similar to Picea pungens 'Sester Dwarf'. About the red and yellow twig dogwoods. They form colonies with their roots and are better used for projects such as erosion control or on large properties where they are beneficial to nature. They are a burden, otherwise... and often do they succumb to leaf diseases. Substitutes for consideration might be hollies with persistent red-berries; Acer circinatum ‘Pacific Fire’; Hydrangea quercifolia; Regarding a smaller flowering tree, the problem with crabapples, again, are leaf diseases. I'd probably stay clear of those and use Stewartia pseudocamillia or another species. I won't mention it again, but Cornus officinalis is a great candidate. Dax

Check out this website to see if your host "iron clad" is one of the ones listed. www.hostalibrary.com. I am a hosta collector and will take about any hosta known or unknown. I have looked on the website and check my reference book, The Hostapedia, and cannot find it listed. I have lots of native NC dogwood seedlings and would be willing to do a trade. I will try to have it identified by some of my buddies in the hosta industry. Look forward to trading. My trade list is under my GW name jmclaurin.
