Precisely. And probably "James Roof" at that. That seems like it's surely it, thanks all! Apparently James Roof is hardy to -9-ish, and the location was quite sheltered. -- Gardening in Lower Normandy |

It was a long very narrow (30cm) dry N-facing against the stone house wall, under the roof overhang.The other side of the bed was a frequently used narrow paved path so James was kept pruned back quite hard against the wall. In that hungry position he certainly survived temps below -9 C. IMO the tassels are displayed much better against a wall. Thanks Janet, that's good to know. The place I have in mind is a north facing wall, I currently have 2 maples and a dogwood there. Very little sun, maybe just a few hours in high summer. One of the maples, an A. oliverianum cultivar, is very happy with that, as is the fabulous C. contraversa 'Candlelight' (which burns with any sun), but the other A. palmatum 'Koshi mino' is pretty miserable. It needs to be moved out this spring, and James Roof seems like a good replacement. When we sold that house (in winter) the new, non-gardening owner was so anxious to do her best for the lovely garden she hired a "gardener". She came home from work to find he had pruned every mature shrub including James Roof, camellias, mahonias and viburnums, to 6" stumps, which he assured her was "essential annual maintenance, to make them flower next summer". :-( Gawd. What a nightmare. It took them years to recover their original size. Probably took that long for many to flower, too... -E -- Gardening in Lower Normandy |
