beautiful tree for winter...I want one :-)
Comments (36)Thanks mxk3, for pointing out the need for specific males to use with Winterberry females and why. I was reading about Berry Nice and Berry Heavy at the Proven Winners site, and they recommend using the male Jim Dandy for both of them. Didn't say WHY though. Viburnums are similar in needing specific males that will pollinate when the females are blooming. The About Gardening site on link above, called the Berry choices natives, found in Michigan. I like natives and had planned to look for those choices, should be happy here! Maybe one of each and the male Jim Dandy pollinator. Now I know to ask better questions in my search. I have a Coralburst Crabapple, a dwarf variety. Very nice tree, seems quite resistant to any of the apple tree problems. Nice leaf look all summer and fall. The resistance is bred into them. Nice rounded shape though it may need shaping every few years. I have had it about 8 years, been quite happy with it's flowers and fruit. My birds don't eat the fruit, not much winter color because they are very small. Nice choice if fruit bothers you. Really coral color blooms. The differences in invasive Hawthorns might be our locations. Hawthorns here are HAPPY and reproduce in QUANTITY out in unmowed fields. They are ALL thorny, with the big spikes. They are happy in snow and cold, hot, dry summers, nothing makes them wilt or fail, darn it! Again, have not seen any spineless Hawthorns advertised or grown in public areas. Maybe more recent introductions have not been used yet. The MSU trees are mature, all the common ornamental varieties that do well here. REALLY spiked on all parts! Our Tree and Shrub class covered the good and bad on Hawthorns as we walked around to view them, for planting uses in this locale. All smell good, some better than others if you choose by flower and scent. There are junipers growing locally, but not the ones going by Red Cedar names. That disease just doesn't let them get any age unless you get out and spray them religiously to keep them alive. Too many old, uncared for apples, volunteers, which harbor disease. Used to be the State Gov. would make you cut old apples to prevent disease spread to the producing orchard trees. Difficult in the home setting to care for 30ft Cedar trees, who are trying to get even larger! Easier to plant other evergreens who don't need such care. Too bad, the Red Cedars are very pretty with their soft, feathery branching. More flowing than the volunteer Junipers along the roads....See Morerecent pictures of a wintery dutch cottage-garden
Comments (12)Thank you so much for visiting and all of your compliments. I understand that it is impossible to surf around all of the photos, - there are just too much. But I feel honored that you took a closer look at some of them... The camera I use, is a Nikon D200 for the newer ones, - before I used a Nikon Coolpix 5400. The D200 is really great, - a little difficult to handle in the beginning, but after a while quite easy. I wouldn't want another camera any more (except the new Nikon D300!!).

Comments (18)John,When I said it cost $240,I should of also added that it probably took 5 years off my life.The plans,if You can call them that,were a nightmare.I spent a day setting the foundation,just to find that their plans are off by about 5/8"...but at least if I add a second GH,I'll know what I'm in for. I looked into building also,but the polycarbonate costs just made it not practical...the shipping was also about $200 because the panels are oversize.I know the big box stores used to carry the polycarbonate as hurricane panels,but they don't carry it anymore(at least not in my area).What did You use for framing,as I was considering using the extruded aluminium(I'm English & still can't spell/say it the American way after 16 years...I apologise)framing,that is used for building screened-in patios.This was when I wanted to construct a lean-to style on the South side of the house & make it match the screened in patio I built.Could You post a few pics of Your GH here,as it might give me a few ideas.Do You think running Christmas lights or just a regular 60wt bulb will give Me minimum heat on Our coldest nights?Thanks for Your info...See MoreWintery Sky
Comments (1)Hi, Marian, I don't have "Wintry Sky" growing in my gardens, so I can't do a trade with you, but I just saw it listed on the Aitken website for $5. The web address is www.flowerfantasy.net. I've ordered from them in the past and was always pleased. Hope this helps. Shae...See MoreBumblebeez SC Zone 7
