Please help identify this evergreen
Comments (11)You might take this opportunity to have all of your trees identified. Knowing as much as you can about these very valuable parts of your property will help you protect them....as in the case of all the other evergreens you lost. Were they hemlocks, by any chance? There are some terrific plant experts in this forum who will be happy to help....See Morecan you help me identify what type of Maple tree this is please?
Comments (18)i am in adrian mi ... prime planting time in MI ... is ground thaw in late march ... minimum 6 to 8 weeks before leaf out ... OR!!!!! and late sept thru about now ... so this is your window of opportunity ... for next year ... gee tree farm is just north of jackson MI ... off I-94 ... with a 15 acre arboretum .. and hundreds of acres of trees... it would be a brilliant trip ... NOW ... call ahead... ask for cary ... and explain what you are looking for .. and ask if their field trees are still holding leaves.. and if you could mark some for next summer .. it might require a deposit ... and that is up to them ..... [i would have you mention my name.. but i dont know if it would be a positive.. lol ] .. make an appointment for someone with a golf cart to whisk you around the property .... you might be able to find some out your way also ... google tree farms grand rapids ... the larger the tree.. the more roots you cut off to transplant ... no tree will perform to expectations until it regrows its root mass .. so a larger tree.. will take years longer to recover ... smaller will get 'established' faster .. and can outgrow a larger specimen.. inside 5 years .. not to mention.. if you are doing this yourselves.. how to move.. transport ... carry.. and plant.. a humongous ball and burlap.. sans heavy machinery ... i have tried that.. nearly ended up needing surgery .. not cool ... my dichotomy.. is based on you doing it.. versus big checkbook professional installation ... its not that it cant be done... its what can be done in your budget .... i am impressed you are so far ahead of the curve... usually peeps want instant gratification.. rather than planning a year out ... should you be thinking of doing this yourself.. read.. digest. and commit to memory.. EVERYTHING at the link ... doing it the right way... really matters .... ken Here is a link that might be useful: link...See MorePlease Please, Please, help me identify these tree leaves.
Comments (1)You'll probably have much better luck posting a request for IDs along with pictures (embedding the pictures in the post would help) in the Name That Plant Forum. Here's a link to that forum... Here is a link that might be useful: Name That Plant Forum...See MoreCould it be possible to help me identify my fig bush/tree please
Comments (7)I would not think of growing it in ground in our location which is Zone 5. I am not saying that it is impossible but the efforts required to insulate it from extreme cold is prohibitive. Some experts in NJ try different ways of covering the plants from cold and others just take a chance in Zone 6. Some day I may try in the ground but just to see if the roots will survive (and shoot later from groun) because I am sure the wood above the ground will not survive in Zone 5 winter here. Also, if you are keeping plants in pots and take them to safety in the winter then there is no concern for the plant hardiness and your main concern is early/late ripening i.e. before the frost....See Moreclement_2006
