Are There Different Types of Carlessi Viburnums?
Comments (5)Your landscaper may have just installed what we call the "straight species" - that is the plant as found originally in nature. V. carlesii itself is fragrant to some degree, but I'm sure individual plants vary. That is certainly why some cultivars are developed, to ensure things like reliable fragrance. 'Aurora', 'Charis', and 'Diana' are noted as fragrant by Dr. Dirr. He makes no such notation of 'Arlene', 'Compactum', Spiced Bouquet or 'Marlou'. However, with a name like Spiced Bouquet, you would think it would be. In the future, when purchasing plants for fragrance, it is usually recommended that you buy it in bloom to make sure you get something you like. I realize that you didn't buy these, of course....See Morecutting back viburnums
Comments (1)By your description it's impossible to tell what type of viburnums you have, but viburnums are not intended to be cut back in the way you describe. If they look bad now, they'll likely look worse after you hack at them. If they're poorly placed and you can't move them, remove them....See Morepls help me-clueless about gardening-viburnums in shade?-SE FL
Comments (5)awww, thanks mammie! He is a sweetie. He is 34 inches tall at the withers (shoulder) and is a 7 year old gelding. We are told he knows how to pull a cart, but we have not tried that yet! He is just a pet...we will also get a big horse soon to ride, but in the meantime he is satifying my "horse urge" without costing tons of $$$ in the feed department! My next door neighbor boards horses that stay out in their pasture all the time (they are retired) so he has companionship with them (it is kind of cruel to keep only one horse...they are herd animals and crave other horses company.) Oh, I wanted to add to this thread...that I am thinking of getting a 6' tall rolled bamboo fence to put up while whatever plants I decide are growing. Anyone have any experience with these fences? Also, will clematic grow in the shade? Someone on another forum suggested clematis for this shaded area. Thanks....See MoreSuggestions for a small flowering tree
Comments (11)We are in Langley BC. We are thrilled with our ornamental flowering pear, which is very vertical and a joy in the early spring (white). It is very well behaved and a terrific boulevard and shade tree. It is probably about 25 ft. now. We also have a European hornbeam and a very vertical columnar red maple (no flowers but real interesting; its branches go straight up like hat-tree hooks.) I could find some pictures if you want, or tell you the address. I do not find many of the local nurseries very conversant with this tree function. They want to market magnolias, dogwoods, and maples. In the past week I see hundreds of trees in drought shock, and not just the ones planted this year. The red maples are getting powdery mildew....See More
