And there you go, Muddy1 - you don't have to do it all in your own yard. A neighborhood full of great plants offers those cross-pollination opportunities to make everyone's landscape a joy.

It is short-sighted to think that if it all doesn't fit on one plot, than it can't/shouldn't be done. It deprives humans of the joy and experience of these diverse plants, and it deprives wildlife of part of their reproductive or dietary cycles. And from whence comes more of these plants for others to enjoy when the seeds are, ah, donated to landscapes managed or wild.

Get thee a Fringe Tree - I'll hear not otherwise.
