Long before I bought clem's individually, we'd buy collections from Wayside Gardens (when it was better than it is now). I still have those 16 clem's (now 18 and 19 years old) but I have had others disappear or just not return. My Pink Champagne was devoured by montana Grandiflora and that was my fault for allowing the montana to grow as it wished. I thought they looked so nice together but didn't realize the greedy montana would overtake the PC.
