Leaving aside Chalet, Lurvy's, and Pesche's, which I have already checked (and they do have some good deals), are there any great "end of seasin" plant sales worth driving to that you know of? Up to 90 minute drive from Chicago would be ok. Must have decent stock left to choose from, and rock bottom clearance prices! Thanks. Ask barb...I think she said she gets most of her stuff from those planters on Michigan Avenue... ;-p hardee harr har. oh, hey, who knows of any Japanese maples around town that have got seed pods on them? I want to try my hand at growing some from seed. that's gonna take a long time. Yer what 50+? You'll be into getting SS checks by the time it's 4 feet tall. Just drop the 100 bucks and get a six foot one already pruned. Not necessarily. I¹d not look for seeds but in the spring look for seedlings. Transplant away from the mom maple . Looking about may produce a surprise of a 3 or 4 year old. This gift usually away from lawn mowers and cultivated beds. Chose on leaf and structure and be ruthless. In five years +_3 a tree 2 or 5 feet may appear in your nurture area. We have about 10O about but we been doing this for 30 years. Bill PS Problem is what to do with anything over ten feet. Yet another reason to like low growing spreading types. We love fine leaves and full moon leaves. -- Garden in shade zone 5 S Jersey USA |
