[IBC] My visit to the national Arboretum in DC
Well I have been back for a week, which means two wees
ago Sunday I got to meet Nina Shiskoff and Anita Hawkins face to face after all this time. Anita picked me up at my friend's pre Civil War vintage farm house in Maryland and took me into DC we met Anita there. So i got to tour the collection in the company of the collection's plant pathologist and a docent. Gosh, those trees are beautiful! Befor viewing the collection, I wondered why so many were interested in Bougies. In California they are never more than skinny sticks. Growing in a proper cliamte, the sure do shape up. I wanted to see Goshin. I had seen photos of this planting. They are nothing compared to the real thing. I think one would have to spend a lot of time there to really know the trees. Thanks Nina and Anita, who I will never confuse with Iris Cohen again.
