One thing I have noticed is that my best pear tree was living nearby to a mature locust tree which indicates that the locust must have supplied the pear with some nitrogen fertilizer. I keep cutting the limbs of a locust except for high limbs and the locust emits some fluid. So the locust does emit fluids and whether it has a fluid similar to the juglone fluid of blackwalnut is something to be researched. Whether locusts emit a herbicide-like fluid needs be researched. Has anyone compared the nitrogen fixing of locust with other legumes in respect to amount of fertilizer they can contribute to the soil?

a frame and a theme Landscape Architecture; evergreens to
Archimedes Plutonium wrote: (most snipped) The structure of that design is to have a frame and then have an interior of a theme which in this case is apricots with some pinnacle juniper rising in their midsts. Apricots are almost as pretty as amur maples in Autumn but the thing about apricots is that they give that red foliage color throughout the spring and summer months and amur maples are lucky to display red color for more than 2 weeks before some strong winds blow the leaves away. I first became acquanted with apricot tree in my 20s when I returned from Australia to find my father having purchased a new home which had an apricot tree in the backyard. It was a large and mature tree and I do not remember it as pretty nor as ugly. Some claim that mature apricots become gnarled and ugly. Which certainly is not the case for young apricots. Perhaps my variety of coldhardy apricots is nongnarly. I do find that apricots have some trouble with the wind and that branches keep breaking off. Also, I have just about given up on sandcherry Prunus tomatosa if memory serves me correctly. I have 3 rows of them and although they bloom and bear fruit they seldom have enough fruit to be happy about. And they are so spasmodic in health. They seem to do well one year and then many die the next. So as the sandcherry dies I am not going to replant that area with something different. I have found that currants and gooseberries are vigorous where those sandcherries are not. And that I get a huge crop of currants each year. Trouble with currants is that they are a pain to mow around. Archimedes Plutonium, whole entire Universe is just one big atom where dots of the electron-dot-cloud are galaxies |
