Zone 5'ers when do you get your mail order trees?
Comments (9)when i suggest dormancy .. that is my attempt to reach for 100% success .... obviously ... it can be done otherwise.. though your odds start to go down as the heat of summer approaches ... who are you getting them from in OH??? send me an email thru my members page ... on some plants .. ID is requisite by the seller ... so they delay .... i mean if you had 10,000 pots of JMap's.. they do all look the same w/o leaves .... lol .. and what trees.. specifically are we talking about.. and are you contemplating full sun???? posting this in the tree forum and only discussing trees is very general.. do you have a specific tree in mind ... because conifers are a included in your general question.. and i know you are working with those .... since conifers are trees .. there is no reason all your learning about conifers.. should not translate directly to trees in general .... there really arent a different set of rules for each.. and in theory.. a vast majority of conifers do come with leaves .... why are you thinking differently about trees ???? if the seller is providing a full warranty ... and the seller wishes to delay .. then it is left to relying on the seller .... at some level ... in our zone 5 .. MOST SPRINGS .. mid may .. though a bit late .. should still give you 6 weeks.. before the real heat of summer ... and you should be able to succeed ... its just that sometimes the heat hits early ... blah.. blah ... and at that point.. if in full sun.. you might want to rig up some shade .... and of course.. there is a big difference between a one foot tree in a one gal ... and a 4 foot tree in one gal ... the bigger the tree.. the bigger the stresses.. and the worse the odds get ... heck a one footer can go in a rose cone [or a cardboard box open at the top all summer .. to provide shade] .. and you cant fail ... so your generalized question is leading to frustration because i am not sure what you want to know ... just understand that thru shipping.. planting.. perhaps root surgery .. that the impaired root system MUST be able to provide the requisite water to maintain the leaves on the tree.. and if.. for whatever reason.. the delay in the root system ability to provide the water.. to hold the leaves.. fails.. then the leaves will fail ... though many plants.. but for the transplant .... can releaf .... it would be no different.. but for the transplant.. than if a hard frost or freeze .. hit a tree after leaf out.. and damaged all the leaves ... ken...See MoreWhere do you get your zone information
Comments (28)My husband never actually worked at Freemont Plant. I know they put the building plans on hold for a while. Because they are merging with Allegany I think is the reason. Once the merger is done I thought the building of Freemont was going to resume. Was your boyfriend working AT Freemont? We have been at a plant in Pa then moved here to Ohio where he worked at Eastlake Plant (which is shutting down) & now Perry Nuclear. So sorry to hear he was laid off!!...See MoreNew to GW? You need to Add your zone/ location to your name!Heres how:
Comments (10)Not everyone knows their zone or even understands what it means. Say there was a poster from Saudi Arabia, for example, or China. If they would just put roughly their region into their name it might helpful. Marie: if people included their zone and/or their city/region in their name as it shows up upon posting, especially when they posted a question about a IDing a shrub, then it would be a lot easier to ID it without having to ask a lot of followup questions...which may or may never get answered by the original poster (OP). So, it would save me, the ID'er and the OP time. So it is critical information for certain questions or posts, but not all. I dont' want to have to click on their name to try to find more information -- which may or may not be there. Also, I see you have a (6) by your name -- assume that is zone? A zone number by itself is somewhat helpful, but a cold desert zone 6 is completely different than a Mid-Atlantic zone 6, so there is still some ambiguity in that. A region of a state would be a helpful addition, for example...SW Ohio or Eastern Colorado Plains....See MoreHow big do these get for you? Zone 7 East Coasters in particular
