Many plants for Danae racemosa, Alexandrian laurel, Poet's laurel
Comments (0)I will trade multiple plants for one Danae racemosa with good roots. Danae racemosa is also called Alexandrian laurel and Poet's laurel. For just Danae racemosa, I will send: Oakleaf hydrangea - small with roots Indigofera - with roots Dianthus if I can separate it - overwinters in zone 7 flowering quince 'Cameo' - assuming it separates well from parent plant purple grape hyacinth few small bulbs probably Spring Beauty a peach tree seedling that came up under my peach tree tricyrtis or toadlily - with roots red monarda or bee balm - with roots a daffodil bulb that has white petals, light yellow short center Forsythia cuttings or rooted plant oregano with roots Seeds from Arkansas Black Apple if my Spring stuff comes back well, I'll include: Gardenia if I get it to root Canna green leaf white flower hosta one plumeria rooted lycoris squamata bulb lycoris radiata bulb another type of bulb not sure what it is Swedish ivy piece, roots or not epiphyte - type plant Kalenchoe cuttings Pothos cuttings, roots or not Spider plant piece Butterfly vine if I get it to root Flower that looks like a yellow coneflower Hardy passionvine (passiflora incarnata, I think) Salvia sage with blue flowers, edible unrooted or rooted night-blooming cereus sanseviera or snake plant/mother-in-law's tongue If you see something I have now, and also want something I need the summer to root, I will send your cool weather plants now, and the summer ones once the rooting has occurred. If you want anything else on my trade list just let me know, and I'll add it. If you have Danae racemosa to share, and do not see what you want here, please still email me, and I'll see if I can procure it. Danae racemosa is extremely difficult to find, and the few places or place that carry it are very expensive, plus add costly shipping charges. Thank you so much for considering sharing your Danae racemosa....See MoreWhat's Wrong with my Mountain Laurel?

Comments (11)From Floridata (one man's opinion): 'It is a favorite shade tree for residential landscapes. However, laurel oak is prone to rotting from within and larger trees are nearly always at least partly hollow. Limbs are prone to break off. When a tree falls on a house or car in the southeastern U.S., it is, more often than not, a damn laurel oak.' So, if in fact your tree is a laurel oak, you might want to get more opinions on its value as a long-term tree. Often, entire neighborhoods are planted with similar trees. Is this the case in yours? Perhaps many have been removed already? Our neighborhood had all these red maples planted because they were fast-growing and cheap to install. Unfortunately most of them have died, fallen apart, or obstructed sewer lines or had roots that upheaved sidewalks/driveways, etc. and many, many have been removed - including ours!...See MoreShothole bacteria on Laurels, what to do?
Comments (4)Shot hole symptoms on Prunus species can be the result of various causal factors - bacterial, fungal and even physiological/mechanical. You would need to confirm the cause to effect a proper control but on English laurels, it usually cultural or environmental factors, primarily overhead irrigation/excessive rainfall. Not much one can do about the rain (and that doesn't seem to be a huge contributor anyway as I see numerous stands of unblemished E. laurels that receive copious rainfall). But DO make sure that any irrigation is directed off the foliage and just to the root zone. If you feel it is something more sinister than just cultural/environmental issues, you should send samples to the Puyallup plant path lab for analysis and an accurate diagnosis....See Moregardengal48 (PNW Z8/9)
