Comments (5)It depends on what you are looking for - the "small, thin and twisted" are generally wild harvested trees (with a permit - all approved and OK) and that look is very indicative of their alpine or subalpine growing conditions and is very much in demand with a certain type of retail customer. Larger, fuller and more regular shaped trees are field grown specimens and tend to be less widely available as the demand is not as strong but they do exist. FWIW, collected or harvested trees often have a compromised root system due to both their growing conditions (i.e., rocky cliffs)and to the harvesting methods. If not excessively compromised and with good aftercare, in a cultivated garden with decent soil, good drainage and adequate watering, these will very often fill out and grow into very handsome, large trees. Try looking at retail outlets that specialize in a wide conifer selection - Wells Medina or Emery's are a couple. And sometimes outlying retail nurseries that offer landscaping services or also cater to the wholesale trade like Olympic Nursery in Woodinville or Savage Plants on the Kitsap Peninsula will have a bigger selection of larger stock. FWIW, most retail nurseries bring in the bulk of their tree stock for the season in late winter or early spring - you are unlikely to find too much additional new stock later in the year....See MoreGrow Some Posion Ivy for Great Fall Color!!!!
Comments (21)arum, i just reread and reread my post! i am not going to say how many times it took, either. i am dying laughing at myself. never would have noticed if you didn't say my post sounded weird. ha! i meant that i heard p.i. is very rare in the minnesota climate. ahem, (throat clearing sound), burt's bees poison ivy soap! i will swear by it for the rest of my life. wash the area with it everytime you shower BEFORE the rash gets bad. itching will be less severe and i didn't have much spread. it still helps even if the rash is bad, but why wait? i never used to get minnesota (just kidding!). sounds like s. minne is as bad as illinois with the size of the ivies. i have seen huge leaves as well. i was near the canada border so that could explain some things....See MorePoison Hemlock Help
Comments (1)You don't give your location. Contact your local Noxious Weed Control Board, or DNR, or county agricultural extension. They will give you the information you need to get rid of it. They may even help you if there is such a large amount of it. You should also go to your doctor in case your rash is from the PH. It is VERY poisonous, and the toxins can be absorbed through the skin. Better to be safe than sorry. Put all plant parts in garbage bags to discard. DO NOT burn it! DO NOT compost it!...See MoreHutchae84 Zone 8b/PNW
