    Juniperus procumbens 'Nana'. Apt to blight off here.

    Thx Ron. You are so kind to answer.
    Unfortunately my english knowledge is not enough in order to understand the second part of what you wrote: "Apt to blight off here." I would be very pleased if you (or any other native english speaker) explain me what it means.
    Thanx again,
    Marius from Romania

    Hello Shohin,

    "Apt to blight off here." means that the plant is prone to withering, loss of vigor and decline in this area.

    It means liable to fungal disease ('blight' is a general term for fungal diseases on the leaves).

    This may well not apply in Romania, where the climate is different.

    Hi mates,
    Romania is considered to lie between 5 -7 in terms of hardiness zone. Its 6 where i live. Yet, I dunno if its the european scale or the american one. Again, thanx all.
