I do not mean to imply this 'tree' is in Monika's ballgame; however, Long Tall Sally, pet name, with unknown parents, is, my foundation brug/tree, here at my little Arky garden in my barn grotto. The third week of August, I cut a seven foot 'shoot' out of my original brug, rolled it in root stimulater, planted it in a much too small pot, put it in the shade, and the few leaves I left are still there, and in oh, such a short time, new leaves were growing!! I could NOT believe it, I am just thrilled, I think Sally is wonderful and lots of the local gardners really like her too, and cannot believe that she was so easy to root, in the worst time of the summer. Next year, I plan to do the same thing the minute I find the right length, suitable shoot...Long Tall Sally wants an alley and some pals...
