Comments (11)Peonea05: Can you tell me what other Itoh cultivar may also have this feature? I would love to get something like that. littlebin: Thank you for the comment. What do you mean don't cut it? Should I just leave that stem as it is and not cut it next spring? How about I let it go to seed and see what would seed do? Let me know, since I really want to preserve this feature. I actually have Er Qiao not far from this Bartzella. This year I got five buds, but none opened, which I suspect is caused by the spring freeze damage. Hopefully next year I will be able to have more flowers. Here is another picture of the pink Bartzella...See MoreDoes this floor look tacky?
Comments (139)Sorry about the load time...but I'm done now. :) You have refinishable floors, MG? As Pllog says, reduce, reuse, recycle...I see why you'd be torn. Tough one. The grey we have decided on (yes we have!) is far less interesting than "Granada" which is sort of elegant and grownup but didn't work for us. Too earthy I think and I want more Easter basket springy. My juvenile streak is shining through. That orange (with blue!) is a perfect look with my oak floor, Pllog. But the spouse wasn't as keen. Some days I'd show it to the spouse and he's all yeah great! And the next time he's all ewwww that's gross. We also had the problem of not being all that great at coordinating things. I mean, I can pick colors that look good together, but when a floor has a lot of chunks of color in it, I feel compelled to use a wall color that is also in the floor. I shouldn't, and I can get past it, but...well, grey's nice with anything I'm likely to use. I've done floors grey before. I've done walls grey. It's a good color! But we have selected a plain grey. "Eternity". If it bores us, we can add a rug or rip it out and add something bright. I hope it doesn't show coffee grounds...the picture on the Forbo page looks even less like the sample than most of their pictures. It's smudgy and not mottled like that suggests and has larger texture. Looks alot like Rhome's "Serene Grey" but a tad darker, and yes, there will likely be celery walls. I was going to attach the Forbo picture, but it's so far off I won't bother. Refer to the celery picture above and imagine it a little darker. Boring? yeah, but once I hang up my cockroach collection, who will notice?...See MoreTree bearing different color of flowers this year
Comments (20)Google 'branch bark ridge' and then google 'branch collar'. Review links and/or images (from Google Images results). Once you understand these terms, make the cut immediately outside these points. You don't want to cut any closer to the trunk than these points. You do want to cut as close to these points as is reasonably possible. Looking at the picture is probably not quite as good as seeing the tree in person, but it appears that the branch collar is just about where the bark changes color. The branch bark ridge (the upper corresponding part of the branch collar) is obvious....See MoreUser
