Plants Pics Posted by Jason Western PA on July 22, 2024, 8:20 pm Hi all! We just got back from Ocean City Friday. We had fun. Water was cold but the air was an oven. I stopped in at Thomas Gardens and wasn't disappointed. He has loads of plants. I picked up 1 long leaf pine which he claims is a hybrid of some sort. The grower claims its different. It's growing was faster than the others he got. Which it was. He has my # and is going to let me know what the other parent was. I also got a willow oak and southern red oak. A pond cypress and light pink chaste tree. That was all the room I had. haha We saw very few palms in O.C. What we did see was all tropical and I'm not sure why they pay that much for them to die. We drove down and saw the wild horses also. Without getting political, while we were gone Trump was in Butler. We all know what happened. Butler is 30 minutes from us. We go to the Butler Farm Show where it happened all the time. My sister in-law lives in Butler county and my zip code is part of Clarion, Armstrong and Butler counties. Sad. Anyways happy we didn't go. We knew lots of people who went and have crazy stories. Take Care my friends! Aucuba Gold Dust It almost 6 feet tall. Doing well. Blue pot barrel cactus was from a coworker who moved here from Arizona. Chaste Tree looking great. Palm I trunk cut. It has put on a foot of trunk and is 5 feet tall. Sabal minor I got in N.C. is flowering Two banana clumps at home are flowering and the one at the post office is. Very early. Crapes are blooming My road sign is looking good. New garden area greenhouse. Mulch will be in bed and small stone for walkway. The brick is over 100 years old we found on the farm. Hand made. Remember when we went to Alabama a few years ago. Well, I had dug out Sabal palms....I thought. Does this not look like a pheonex of some type? I cant believe it.

Re: Plants Pics Posted by Fred SC on July 23, 2024, 5:53 am, in reply to "Plants Pics" Jason the desert garden with the golden barrel in pot is quite nice. Your Aucuba is absolutely beautiful! Thst is parent of one you sent me? Greenhouse garden will be spectacular in a year or two. All your landscaping with tropical looking plants is gorgeous! Glad y’all had a good fun beach trip.

Re: Plants Pics Posted by Jason Western PA on July 23, 2024, 6:09 am, in reply to "Re: Plants Pics" Thanks Fred! We had a fun trip. Aucuba is the mom to yours.

Re: Plants Pics Posted by Jason Western PA on July 23, 2024, 6:11 am, in reply to "Re: Plants Pics" Thank you! Good deal.

Re: Plants Pics Posted by Kurt PA Z6 on July 23, 2024, 8:29 pm, in reply to "Plants Pics" Sounds like you found some nice treasures! Do you fertilize the bananas? I've been using fish fertilizer from Lowes on mine this year, but mine are not nearly as tall as yours are. Great use of the bricks! I love to see old stuff like that used in a new way. Finally had some rain last evening here in Blair county - had not had any rain since early July.

Re: Plants Pics Posted by Jason Western PA on July 23, 2024, 8:47 pm, in reply to "Re: Plants Pics" I give them a little in the spring but really nothing else. They just grow. haha I can't seem to get rain. My yard is brown and cracking.

Re: Plants Pics Posted by alex_7b on July 26, 2024, 5:14 pm, in reply to "Plants Pics" The pinnate leaf looks induplicate. CIDP?

Re: Plants Pics Posted by Jason Western PA on July 26, 2024, 8:34 pm, in reply to "Re: Plants Pics" I'm not sure what you mean? Are you talking about the palm seedling I dug out?

Re: Plants Pics Posted by Steve Lancaster, PA 7a on July 27, 2024, 1:50 pm, in reply to "Plants Pics" Everything looks great Jason. The bananas and windmill palm look huge. My yard is still pretty dry, although we had some rain the other day but I haven't mowed all month 😊

Re: Plants Pics Posted by Jason Western PA on July 29, 2024, 8:46 pm, in reply to "Re: Plants Pics" Thank you! I think we mowed 4 times since June.
