To all

Sorry about the earlier test (Jim). My name is Jack, I live in
Kentucky,
zone 6b. I have over 35 trees. Not many I realize, but it is
a start. All
told I have 78 different kinds of plants (bonsai included). My
best friend
tells me that I tend to gravitate toward greenery, and I
suppose he is
right. IMHO he tends to gravitate towards showy blooms. Oh
well, TEHO.

I have been reading this NG for a while now and I really enjoy
it. I had an
acer palmatum "dissectum" turn up its toes earlier this year,
very
disconcerting. I believe it was some type of disease. Not
really for sure
yet. At some point I plan to search the archives to see if
anything is
mentioned on it's particular set of circumstances.

Nothing to this post more than a simple howdy, an apology for
the test and a
good day to you all.


Hi Jack.

Welcome to the IBC. Be sure to visit and sample our web page,
take a look at the gallery, and occasionally join in on the
Monday/Thursday chat sessions.

Chances are the maple died of Verticillium wilt. There's no
cure, so there's nothing you could have done.

Thirty five trees is a goodly number. I'm down to about 65
now -- down from nearly 200 -- and PLAN on dropping down a bit
more. Problem is, I keep wanting to try another native, or . . .
