Re: In My Garden Today Posted by Mark z7 Sharptown, MD on June 3, 2025, 5:17 am, in reply to "In My Garden Today" I like the Neillia.

Re: In My Garden Today Posted by Alvin, z6 on June 3, 2025, 8:36 am, in reply to "Re: In My Garden Today" Thanks, Mark. Neillia is a hardy "not-so common" plant, that needs to be offered more.

Re: In My Garden Today Posted by Jason Western PA on June 4, 2025, 8:08 pm, in reply to "In My Garden Today" Your apple sure is growing.

Re: In My Garden Today Posted by Fred SC on June 5, 2025, 11:06 am, in reply to "In My Garden Today" Alvin as a kid, everybody had June apples and a green one called early harvest. Most people had old trees of this strapped apple. I don’t know what it was called but it was delicious. Small little apple. Good old time. Ostrich ferns are beautiful. I think young in Unfurled Franz are edible, better google it though, lol. Your Highbush Cranbury has nice blooms. Dwarf golden chain tree blooms are very nice. Have a few very nice and very unusual new plants. Good luck..

Re: In My Garden Today Posted by Alvin, z6 on June 5, 2025, 10:36 pm, in reply to "Re: In My Garden Today" Thanks, Jason. I hope it continues to grow, and eventually fruit.

Re: In My Garden Today Posted by Alvin, z6 on June 5, 2025, 10:39 pm, in reply to "Re: In My Garden Today" Thanks, Fred. No ripe apples in June, up here. Most ripen in September and October. Since Carolina Red June ripens in June in N.c., I would expect it not to ripen, here, until July. I could be wrong though.
