My neighbor planted one about 10 years ago and it's quite a looker, though slow grower. No suckers to speak of and a lush canopy of irregular...
I grew Hardired, but it eventually died from peach leaf curl. Not too resistant in my book. I'm growing Kreibich nectarine in the Seattle area and...
I'd check out your local nurseries for one and plant it now. Even as the tree will lose its leaves, the roots continue to grow. I think fall is...
I've had amazing luck with tall periwinkle, vinca MAJOR, not to be confused with vinca minor. Vinca Major is taller and spreads quickly, as growth...
I've had good luck with these varieties: Negronne, Vern's Brown Turkey, Peter's Golden Honey, and Dessert King. Of those, I'd say Negronne...
