[IBC] Lyonia (southeastern growers only)
 

Has anyone over the southeastern US ever worked with the Genus
Lyonia? There's L. lucida (which I have), L. fruiticosa, L.
ligustrina, or L. ferruginua. They're variously called
Fetterbush, He-Huckleberry, or Staggerbush (there must be a story
behind the later two, but I don't know them). Nice flowers,
sometimes fall color for the deciduous varieties (L. lucida is
evergreen).

The bark is a deep mahogany red. It is very common in my swamp,
and I found a nice root-connected one, but I'm not sure how
they'll do in pots.

'sustainable growth' is an oxymoron. - Stephen Viederman
