Wish me luck Franklinia effort.
Three years ago my 30 year old Franklinia started self pruning. Ended
up with a Y that split in time. This was the only plant I every had that was registered somewhere. Iąd get snail mail about every five years. I Think it was from John Bartram gardens. Anyway about 2 replacements bought last fall. One wintered over and is blooming as I type Joy Joy. The other fared not as well but it sent out three shoots. Looking at the łGood one I pruned the hurt one to one main leader and a two off shoots.. ł Being mind full of no chance for a Y being formed.. Is this reasonable for a hands on gardener. Funny no way a response may be given that would alter my nature is to give it a shot. Stupid or just cheap and stubborn. Still.... Plenty of flowers not ever a seed ;(( Bill http://www.google.com/search?client=...nklinia&ie=UTF -8&oe=UTF-8 -- Garden in shade zone 5 S Jersey USA |

Still working on it. I would be happy to vivit your tree. the web can be found at: http://www.treedictionary.com/DICT20...ing/index.html Sincerely, John A.

Does anyone know if it hit Pennsylvania? -- Sincerely, John A.

Some people will buy products they do not understand and not buy books that will give them understanding. |
