Cross-country move with plants?

Undoubtedly true but not relevant. All of them are either plants with sentimental meaning to me, or plants that cannot be replaced because they are not commercially grown. Which is WHY I SAID VERY RARE! Geesh, I am answering less and less of these questions, which I am then told the answer is not relevant. Prepare yourself. It's freezing cold there! I know. I grew up there. All of my gardening experience is from California, though, so I'm not entirely sure what will be able to make it outside. Plum trees? My research has yielded a definite "maybe" All plants and trees come with a "definite maybe." Plants don't read books. If you tell what kind of plants and what type of pots I can help instruct you since I did a lot of mail order from our garden center. It can and is done regularly. I'm not sure, because I have done the triage yet. Definitely a Christmas cactus in a pot about 8" across. Probably one or two other cacti and/or succulents. And the plum trees. These are the rare and not produced commercially plants, which are sentimental, but you don't know what they are? Plum tree? You want to move a plum tree? So, are these rare specimens? The plum tree is rare, actually, unique. It's a cutting from a tree in my yard which is probably a hybrid between a wild plum a and Santa Rosa plum or something similar. The plums are a very deep purple color, a little larger than grapes, moderately sweet, and have the most intense plum flavor I've ever encountered. I strongly want to preserve this. I don't think that it will be a successful transition. Actually, if someone is interested in growing one of these trees and caring for it, I have four rooted cuttings, and will be giving away two or three of them. The only condition is that I'd want to keep in touch, and be able to get a cutting from the cutting, if the one I keep should not survive. My mail address is jsachs177 at earthlink dot net. Good luck. I hope the plums work out for you. |
