well you got it a bit better than me but not by alot! all the trees are in flower, have been since our warm spell started. The hostas are comming up and it is finally spring here...and then we got cold. last night was around 35 and tonight the same is expected. next week highs of the 80s again. this is a strange spring for sure.

Igor, thanks I love my weeping trees but I believe that may get transplanted this winter. It is gonna get so big and block the view of my rock garden. Can these cherry trees be hard pruned when larger to keep it dwarfted?
Barb, I finally just planted mt Princeps and Takil. Now I hope I dont regret not waiting till they where larger. My wife loves the chammy, says its the best palm I have. I have to disagree, lets see how long my Bismarkia will live in ground 😯
Mike, glad your getting some good weather over there too. Its nice to see all the hosta poke through. A now the fern fronds are unfurling 😀

I did find some fern unfurling chad..and I went and bought a huge tree fern from lowes 😆 . I meant to ask where you got the princep it is a really nice size. and looks very healthy if I'm going to have to shell out the money Id like to get a nice healthy one like yours.

dont regret not waiting till they where larger.
They're a good size, and will settle in nicely this summer.
Then there are those of us who plant them when they're 6 inches tall. 😆 😆
W probably likes the blue colored palms, as do I.
They're such a stunning accent in the garden.

none of the box stores here have anything either which is why I was suprised. I happened to find last years needle pot and it was marked 50% off on may 10th so I know when to go back and grab the others lol. honestly all were nice size and in good shape. the needles were HUGE compared to what I got last year. I hope none of them sell and I get the whole lot 😆 most people will kill them anyways might as well come to my yard and live awhile.
pindo
silver ( I doubt it ) med fan
only problem is the tags said they were grown in florida so I doubt there cold hardiness for awhile

Great looking Pindo and Med Fan.
The newest leaf does look like a silver.
Nice.

Looks nice, very similar to the weather and progression we have had her in South jersey. Every tree and plant is pumping out!

This past weekend all of the trees leafed out. Its really starting look nice around again.
Mike, nice looking med. I may have to go searching all the box stores this afternoon.
Posted : 15/04/2013 11:44 am
Im going to give the box stores another week and see what they get in. They will have these fore sure but I'm looking for that one store manager who orders somthing strange to see how it sells..a bottle palm or a alexander somthing not normal for this zone. they other stuff is usually easy enough to find.
