Jesse, a seedling with "the heart shape" leaves is Epimedium, isn't it? Keep your bamboo seedling away from the spider mites!

Thanks guys.
Tim - Im amazed at the boo seedlings. They are growing faster then I though, and are already shooting just over a month after germination. IF im feeling lucky, I can plant some of them this year, but Im pretty sure Ill hold off till next summer. I suggest you try some fargesia seeds, so far its more then rewarding!
Igor - THey are actually cercis canadiensis (eastern redbud). They are about 2 months old, and are starting to take off liek mad. They arent really anything special, but I have never seen them up here, and have also seen them rated zone 4 (usually 5). JUst an experiment for up here. SOmething to fill in some semi shaded areas.
Also, so far, no plants that i had previously are in that are. Only seed grown plants. There is a small chance id pick up some bugs, but so far nothing *knocks on wood!

Hi Jim,
How much cold has your Sequoiadendron seen? It seems to be getting established now so I'd like to see a nice cold blast!
We have only seen 2F for a minimum temp this winter..............
The temp is an issue if it is accompanied by high winds,which it usually is.
Tim
This one is the first one I bought,the first one I planted here died because
I forgot/did not mulch the roots enough.
So,I moved this one to that spot.
They are VERY intolerant of ANY root damage/distrurbance and can easily be lost
to transplanting...I was lucky this one made it as it browned out a little when I transplanted it....
BTW
This one experienced 18F it's first winter.
It was covered with a rose cone and stayed perfectly greem through this.
The guy(on e-bay)that I bought it from said they will grow anywhere in the U.S,
they just need to get big enough to produce enough sap,to protect them.
Except the deep south, the deserts/mountains...they need constant access to moisture.
This one has come through the winter undamaged-good timing!
BTW
I can't believe a 5 year old Sequoia woudl not be well over 10'',
they are the fastest growing Conifer on earth 😀
