Helpful comments only people!- You appear to be under the delusion you have reached the customer advisory desk at a garden centre dedicated to serving you. This is a discussion group, called uk.rec.gardening, which is completely independent of gardenbanter. There is no membership, no moderator, anyone here is free to DISCUSS rhus typhina whether or not what they say is relevent to your post.Gardenbanter has no control over what is discussed here, or who replies, and neither do you. Janet.- Your incredibly rude Janet.- But the really annoying thing, is that I'm right. - I had never used this site before until last night- If she puts you off using Garden banter then so much the better. Does that give you some right to jump in feet first and behave like a spoiled two year old? Not here it doesn't. This is NOT A "SITE". Janet You are deluded janet, My comment : "helpful comments only" was directed at the person who advised me too burn down any sumachs, after I had quoted it was my favourite tree in my opening paragraph. I CREATED this thread with the intention of aquiring suckers from someone local, I didnt CREATE this thread to discuss Sumachs with people. Thats not being rude, its being honest. If I misunderstood the purpose of this website, I fail to see how that is your concern? You obviously have a serious attitude problem and if you cant say anything nice, might I suggest you say nothing at all??? The problem is that the website you are posting though is a parasitic feed to a much older Usenet news service. Some of the posters here are decidedly tetchy about people describing it as a "SITE" since it is not one and never has been. Garden-b*nter and for that matter all the other parasitic banter sites grab original material from Usenet without permission and repost it as is if it was their own on a website. You should pay attention to what Nick said about Sumac being something of a nuisance. I have grown it constrained without too much problem but it does sucker heavily and the thick resiny sap can be sensitising to some people but far less so than the other members of Anacardaceae which includes the closely related poison oak and ivy and lacquer tree. Urushiol is not something to take lightly it is in the same sort of chemical weapon class as mustard gas but naturally made by plants. It is also the basis of Japanese lacquerware - harmless once polymerised. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anacardiaceae Cashew nuts come from the type species and includes a warning about how to roast the nuts to detoxify them whilst avoiding the smoke. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cashew I would not burn sumac either. -- Regards, Martin Brown |
