And it's supposed to be 22 here tomorrow! yikers!

btw - here's a tip for anyone that likes container trees - (I'll try to boil this long story down) I discovered that the curly willow branches they put in flower arrangements will take root & grow, so I called a florist, and they gave me a branch "No Charge" cuz it was only 1 branch. I stuck it in water, and the leaves are growing already.
Caution - it takes over, so plant it in a container, and it Will over-winter. Y'know the big pots you buy trees & shrubs in? That's the one I used, and didn't do anything special to keep it for the next year. I didn't even cut the branches back. I had one in Winnipeg, and it came back in the Spring. The leaves are long and thin, like a willow, and pale green. Very pretty. It's very quick growing, too. The one I got on Wed already has buds and root buds growing.

So, call your nearest florist and see if you can get a fresh, free branch!
