Thanks Laaz,
I'll check on that Satsuma Mandarin!

Steve,
CIDP,seem to be a tough plant,especially at the seedling stage,and as big as a crown these get with age,I don't have the room
for that large of a plam inside the greenhouse.
Sure I'll take a few Banyans,I'm game for about anything,with airel roots hanging down,very cool looking plant!

Steve,
I have a problem, the Banyan you gave me, which I LOVE and is one of my favorite trees, was doing GREAT up until about a week and a half ago. No change in watering (maybe once every two weeks), no change in climate (still setting where it has been since Nov.). Now it is yellowing leaves and they fall off.
I did give it some 10-10-10 and it still is not helping. HELP as I love this tree.
BTW, If Tropics is kind enough, I too am going to try the some of his bananas. Between the three of us, we should be able to come up with a way to make them work in Kansas.

Don,

Sounds good, I'm working on a a few things to bring down your way in the next month or so. Probably end of Feb. or the beginning of March ~ ( Need to unload the GH to be able to retrieve some things )

Ficus's will sometimes get tempermental and drop leaves due to lower light, drafts,etc. They usually will bounce right back. Would keep it on the drier side till growth picks up again.

Steve

I'll do that.
Steve, would this week be a good one to come down?

Hey Wes - you got that greenhouse up yet? The temps for the next week don't look so good for contruction work. Did you read all the information on garden web about the contruction. I think you can go online at Harbor Freight an dget updated building plans, which will help.

Ok,just let me know,and I'll try to have a few things for you as well.
If I knew what might be your plans for the future,as far as your landscaping plans,for all us kansans,I might be able to come up with a few things to save everybody some money and time.
I have lots of crinums that need to be divided,and I know some people in zone 6 tennesseee area,say they come back every year there,and I even had one come back last year for me,given it was a mild winter!
These are great in ponds and in bog areas as well.They get quite huge in time.

Don,
Not quite sure what my landscaping plans are yet, watched a lot of stuff shrivel up and blow away in the wind last year 😆
Thinking of Yuccas and Agaves in the yard, Going to turn the GH into a jungle this year, I will be in touch about some cuttings. ( I have the pink Brug. already~ looking for the yellow & white ones . Also any Philodendrons)

Steve

Well if your interested in some large ears,I have some,also some ti plants,I think I just have the one fox face philodenron,but your welcome to some cuttings,I have some diffenbachias if your interested in that sort of plants,and lots of epihyllums,all kinds in different colors,have castor beans seeds if your intersted in any of those.
I might have some pups under my recurving yucca outside will have to look.

Any updates on the Green House? ( probably has been too cold to get much going 😐

I was hoping to get a start this weekend until they brought the freezing rain into the story 😥
Plus I had some personal things come up this weekend and need to help my Daughter (not really my daughter, but her Dad has never been in the picture from birth, so I am the Father figure) move a bunch of stuff.
I am hoping that this week will have the teens for lows, then one week of warm, then one more week of teens, then that MIGHT be it for the really cold stuff and I can get it put up.
I am still hoping for you to tell me I can come up. Can you use some CIDP popped seeds with good roots starting (no straps yet)?

Did not forgot about you wanting to stop by, been sort of busy with some medical stuff ( Will have to make a trip to KC soon, etc. ) I'll let you know when I can get 1 or 2 days free.

Does looks like maybe one or two more weeks of cold then warming up 8)
Good Luck With Your Project!

Well, I spoke too soon. I just checked and I now have about 20 CIDP sprouts with the strap leaf pokeing out!!!
I'll try to get a Dig. Camara some time this Century 🙂
