This Wollemi is located at the Kingsbrae Botanical Garden in St. Andrews, New Brunswick. I saw it when I was delivering some plants there last season. If I remember correctly, they purchased it when the first group was made available after the rediscovery of the species. It was around 7-8' tall when...

New Pomegranate Plants
I had some pomegranate plants arrive a couple of weeks ago. As you can see, the shipping process (and week-long delay at Canadian customs :x ) was not kind to them: http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u192/Cameron_Dommer/IMG01129-20140211-1426_zpsbb4f8ef5.jpg This experience basically forced them int...

There were some fairly large dates in El Paso before (and some after) this freeze event. These were CIDPs, and not even the hardiest species like P. theophrastii! It's true that growers are taking a risk that the trees will be killed once every decade, but there's a huge difference between the cold ...

Here's what I did with the lower half of the bed. I was only planning on keeping one MP tree for myself, but another looked too damaged to sell, so I planted both. I don't have high hopes for the sickly one (further back, towards the bed), and am not even too sure about the healthier one after the a...

Here are the rest of the photos after a long delay. Here's what the bed looked like at the start of this past summer. I had to stop work on it during the previous fall when it started to snow. You can see that some dirt and leaves ended up falling into the bed, but overall the winter was a good thin...

Canadianplant, I've been growing tree ferns from spores for awhile now, with varying results as you said :lol: I sowed the spores close to three years ago now, and the largest ferns (or blobs) are maybe half the size of a grain of rice. I haven't removed any of the lids yet, and out of the 8-10 spec...

cam it looks like pseudosasa but i have never heard of it taking those lows........ Jesse, I didn't think P. japonica could take those temps until I bought one! It's in a more sheltered position than most of my other bamboos, but every winter so far it's been in much better condition than even my P...
