About water celery?
build a veggie filter. Jo Ann told me this morning that her ammonia
is almost gone entirely. The water celery (not lettuce) I sent her 12 days ago almost entirely fills her 3' pond she is using as the veggie filter. she now is seeing mulm accumulating in the bottom. her water is crystal clear. Jo Ann has a 10,000 gallon pond with 40 huge koi in it. Ingrid Do you have one of these? http://www.ecy.wa.gov/Programs/wq/pl...er_celery.html Vallisneria Americana http://www.aquahobby.com/garden/e_spiralis.php Vallisneria spiralis Ebay has several offerings of water celery that grow leaves above the water. Is that what you have too? -- Hal Middle Georgia, Zone 8 http://tinyurl.com/2fxzcb |

Hal,
We have loads of water celery, complements of Bonnie in NJ about a decade ago. Want some? Jim |
About water celery?
Will it overwinter in northern areas like New York? Also does anyone know of
a web site where I can buy some. I've looked for it locally and have been unable to find it. Thanks Bill "Phyllis and Jim" wrote in message ups.com... Hal, We have loads of water celery, complements of Bonnie in NJ about a decade ago. Want some? Jim |

Thanks, that is kind of you to offer, but forgive me if it sounds rude of me to ask again, but what kind of plant are we talking about? The scientific name: Vallisneria grows underwater. The scientific name: Oenanthe javanica grows beautiful leaves above the water. Both of these have other names also, but are commonly called water celery. -- Hal Middle Georgia, Zone 8 http://tinyurl.com/2fxzcb |

I'd like some! Does it handle full sun and high temps? On Sun, 19 Aug 2007 12:47:59 CST, Phyllis and Jim wrote: Hal, We have loads of water celery, complements of Bonnie in NJ about a decade ago.

About water celery?
Hi..
Check with Bonnie in NJ. She has had celery for an age. Well colloquial names are nothing but smoke an mirrows.. For example there's a big difference between European and American watercress. The European watercress is a cress but the American watercress is a Water Horseradish.. Read once a pond article about the Eurasian V. spiralis that overwintered in a Middle European pond in a depth of 70 cm (= 28"). The pond owner removed snow on ice so the vals got enough light to survive.. P.S.: In aquaria vals might sometimes be confused with sags (mostly Sagittaria subulata). Sags also have different looking emerged leaves but vals do always live a submersed life.. -- cu Marco |

Joe,
I followed your link. That IS what I call water celery. Hal and Marco, take a look and see if it is what you are thinking of. The link also describes its hardiness to zone 8. Jim |

As best I can tell, that's what is thriving in my zone 5 pond in N. Central Indiana. It's been through 2 winters now with no problem. Roger Grady To reply by email, remove "qlfit." from address |

Jim It survives here in Zone 7a. I have the less hardy kind, Flamingo. It is sometimes called water parsley, but looks similar to the picture shown, only has pink fringe along with the green and white. ~ jan ------------ Zone 7a, SE Washington State Ponds: www.jjspond.us |

Here is my favorite shot of that. http://www.paghat.com/waterparsley.html It survives winter, but does it die back to the water when frost or freezes occur? -- Hal Middle Georgia, Zone 8 http://tinyurl.com/2fxzcb |

This is what I have always thought was water celery: http://www.koivet.com/plants/celery.html That is the common name used by lots of people, so I'm willing to accept that is what it is called, but by definition, Vallisneria, strikes me as one that wouldn't burn back to the water when frost strikes or we get a thin film of ice that lasts a day or two during colder winters. The variety called tape grass is something I've seen in aquariums for years and ignored it, thinking I had no use for such a plant. Now, I'm not so sure. I prefer to take advantage of the experience of others and appreciate your helping me. Does your celery die back from the cold weather? I'm searching for plants to replace the water hyacinth. It is the fastest growing water plant I've ever used, but it is unpredictable for me and the long roots are messy. Some years I toss them in an they grow, some years they turn yellow and shrink and I haven't discovered why. (Yes, I've gone through the potassium, magnesium, iron fertilizing. No, it doesn't always work.) My solution is to go with plants that aren't so unpredictable for me. Unfortunately the plants I think work best are over 3' tall and need a firm place to anchor. (I'm still working on that. How do you clean a pyramid of bricks on the bottom?) -- Hal Middle Georgia, Zone 8 http://tinyurl.com/2fxzcb |

Ours too is hit by frost, but comes back every year.
Jim Jackson, MS Frost goes to as low as 20 degrees, but does not hold long and does not freeze the pond for long. |
