I will check my books on what they say about ctab apples and texas laurell's. as far as what to take on whisteria I believe the soft green cuttings should root really easy. its such a monster that takes over. here we have sprouts in the drip line from the blosums...I think unless its seedlings. I never really checked it out so it might be fun to do. I will get you a pic of .... a tiskett a taskett a wisteria in a basket....la la la.....
It was the bigest pot I had a t the time I recieved it and I have issue with throwing anything away. but I will be glad to see my chinese lantern's go this week. I kept them in pots and they still managed to get out of the pots.
Ok whats a PW??? pussy willow? perri winkle? proven winners? sorry not on the wave length. I have been told some people sacrifice merrigolds for spider mites to protect their gardens. It can work as far as sacrificing a plant but when a bugs population reaches a certain level some leave and hunt for new food sources.
Aphids are so easy to controll just some dish washing soap and a spray bottle will knock them out. it might take a couple of sprays but it will work. I know it also works on oleander catterpillar. I believe it cover's their bodies with a film that doesn't allow them to breath through their skin. Oh yea baby aphids can be borne pregnant so its easy to get them out of controll quickly.
I have to do some packing but I will return with some answers on whats best for cuttings.
