North Florida - golden conifers
Comments (8)Also add: Cryptomeria japonica 'Sekkan-Sugi' and related cultivars Cupressus sempervirens 'Swane's Golden' Platycladus orientalis - several golden cultivars, long cultivated here Taxodium distichum 'Peve Yellow' Possibly the golden cultivars of Sequoia sempervirens?? Golden forms of Thuja occidentalis might do well as the straight species actually does quite well if given enough water. The golden slash pines are not in cultivation. However, there is beautiful "dragon's eye" type of P. elliotii growing outside of my building that was selected by foresters years ago. I am planning to graft some this winter......See Moretamarind tree has anyone heard of it and does it grow in florida
Comments (12)I checked out that site and it had a lot to say I tried to send the following email but it said they dont recieve from hotmail. So I decided to copy it just as I wrote it and post it here. My name is Ssmittee and I just ate my first piece of tamerind candy/fruit and found it so pleasing that I sucked on the seed like I did when I was a child with olive pits lol. I live in Polk County which is half way between Tampa Bay and Orlando. We are actually almost dead center of our state. I lived most of my life in Washington state and have been in love with the tropicals and am growing and eating everything they produce. [my papaya tree produced 47 3 to 4 lb fruits and I dried froze and ate and shared every one of them. I know the tree is huge so I guess a house plant is out, lol ..ok here is my questions: 1. Will it survive in my area? about once a year it drops to 25 2 or 3 days. This year it lasted about 2 weeks. 2. will they grow AND produce flowers and fruit in a large pot as in a 25 gallon planter. With the help of my 2-wheel dolly and my handicapped ramp, my living room sorta looked like a tropical forest. 3. Finally, Can you tell me how to prepare the seeds for propagation. I do appreciate anyone who is willing to take a few minutes to answer these questions for a stranger. Garden webbers rock any way I know I will eventually get the answer from all yall... hey I already got on answer Imagardener said they had theirs in a pot and brought it in during the chill. btw thanks...See MoreWhich is better, north Florida or south Florida?
Comments (27)johnb51: That's what I have heard: that SW side is more economical and less crowded but it probably depends on 'where' exactly lol. I would have to be zoned agriculture and away from the larger cities a little bit since I have chickens and loud roosters. They do make good fertilizer! :P I was also born in L.A. but later moved to Phx AZ. I love it in FL. The humidity took some getting used to compared to the Southwest. I've been out here 3 years now. marinfla: I like your mango story. Its funny how little things can change our lives. Your yard sounds like paradise. I can't wait until I can put my fruit trees in the ground and not worry about freezes so much. Bob1016: Sounds like you had quite an education in fruit trees since you were very young. What a nice environment to grow up in! I can imagine that you miss it and your grandfather quite a bit. njoasis: Sounds fun! I just bet they do! Can you make a good mojito? lol...See Moremystery weed - North Florida, summer weed
