Hi,I'm interested in trading for your white sage,oenothera silver blade,clerodendrum south african butterfly,orange monkeyflower bush and feathery cassia.I do have the mexican hats and hoping you will find something else that interest you on my seed list.Debbie

dbw7, thanks for the correction about the gable ends! Not sure if this is what you're seeing, but all of the panels have traditionally been shipped with a clear plastic film on both sides that needs to be removed before the panels are installed. (The part number labels are stuck onto this plastic film.) UV protection is a clear coating that would not be removable...no way to tell if that is present without laboratory testing of some sort, I believe. We just have to rely on the word of the manufacturer we're purchasing the kit from...which is where some of the controversy comes in regarding Harbor Freight. If the white material is designed to be in place for shading, and the white material is already starting to peel away from the panel, that would be a bit worrisome to me...but maybe you could secure it by simply adding some aluminum tape to the edge of the panel.

Still working on this. New twist. It appears there are two different trees. Both have similar bark, and the habit is similar. Some of these trees are approaching 50 feet. They appear to be growing easily from seeds, as there are numerous saplings near the older trees (not suckers, but saplings). Trunk diameters range from 3/8 inch to about 16 inches. The black fruit trees have a shorter, more oval shaped compound serrated leaf (I mean to say, two different sized serrations). The yellow/red fruited tree has more lancet shaped leaves, also with compound serrations. Both trees show distinct darkened glands on the petiole (sorry, not very visible in pictures. Speaking of pictures, there are more pictures posted at the link I posted earlier in the thread, showing the things I'm now describing. The black fruit tastes slightly sweet, but bitter. I would not describe it as sour or acidic. The yellow and red fruit tastes almost exactly like a Rainier cherry, but with a slightly bitter after-taste. Both fruits are about 1/2 inch in diameter. I haven't seen a cherry plum in person, but have seen many cherries, and these look like cherries to me. They are not elongated or oblong or round, but, rather, slightly indented on the bottom, just like a cherry. So, the reason I'm posting again is that Prunus cerasifera is supposed to have petioles without glands and evenly toothed leaf margins. Help?

How about Bridal Vail Spirea? I've been noticing them and admiring them this week. Lisa Here is a link that might be useful: Bridal Vail Spirea
