Separate names with a comma.
You probably will need to cut off the branches above the sprout, but wait a month or two before you do, to see if there is any more new growth...
Thanks! Always best to go to the original sources!
Clickbait, or real?
They should do OK in those conditions. You might want to think about the implications of the species being an invasive alien in your region, though.
None have reached 60 metres yet, but 35-40 metres is well within their reach ;-)...
Fine by me!
I could dig out some, but getting a huge number would be difficult!
Thanks! If you can get a conservation proposal in time for the next ICN conference (see post #7) that would be excellent - waiting till 2030 would...
If a Lilac wants to sucker, it'll sucker. Only way to stop it would be to dig up the entire root system - which is a non-starter, I fear.
Yep, I know! Just added it for interest. The species likes our climate much better - this one is 57 metres tall.
Just for interest, here's a photo of what Abies grandis can do in Britain - best viewed full size :-) [ATTACH]
Yes, fast when young, but it doesn't continue for long, nor make a large tree.
I don't know, but it is still worth a try - I have been told they will consider representations. There is definitely no harm in asking!
About 30-40 cm/year here in Britain where it does relatively poorly for lack of summer heat; I'd expect it would be faster for you in Ohio, maybe...
Many thanks! Can you send this information to POWO too, please?
Manchurian Fir (Abies holophylla) is very hardy (to -40° or -50°) and grows reasonably fast with summer heat; grows to over 40 m tall in the wild.
Wonder if anyone will ever develop cool-summer tolerant plants?
I'd be surprised if they're not on their own roots, cuttings rather than grafting is the norm for Lawson's Cypress cultivars as it is cheaper....
POWO accept it as Beaucarnea recurvata: https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:531735-1
That's still well within the remit of zone 8; remember the zone number is based on the average winter low of a long series of winters, and the...
