Vv,

The Dawes has the best collection of viburnums that I've seen, partly because they're mainly < 10 years old. I like to see what plants do in their youth before they get large and hairy. I'll post one more from there to whet the appetite. If you can time it right, you ought to check out all of the new magnolias that they've been planting behind that big 'White Tigress' and along the open field. I think that this spring will be the first decent year to see them flower. While I have some mental horsepower hanging around, anyone familiar with Magnolia 'Wada's Memory' and M. kobus 'Nana Compacta'? These seem like they would hold some potential but have obviously been around for a while with out catching on. Are the victims of being slower to make flowers?

Thanks,
Ernie

edited to change name to Magnolia kobus 'Nana Compacta'
