First Plants arrived

Must be time I had two Viburnum Bushes arrive from Arrowhead Alpines yesterday.They will be planted after work.

Nice!

Are the colors of viburnum influenced by soil acidity, like hydrangea?

Or is my memory going soft......be honest !!!

(I actually enjoy having less memory, because it means less painful dregs from childhood, etc.)

Most viburnum are white, I've seen a few pink....don't think the soil affects them, but I know Patti grows quite a few of them.....

Yes - no ph influence.

Rosey Dawn order and Lily Nook order has been shipped!!

Which Viburnums did you get, gamekeeper?

Got an email today that my dahlias were shipped....

I got rhubarb last week and planted it over the weekend. I think that is it for me this year.

have a half dozen jm's arriving this week, large batch of conifers on monday - an astible coop delivery and geranuim order yesterday.

Got mine from Topiary....one of my tree's is leafing out...a beautiful red!

Ok, picture of JM 'OTOME ZAKURA' leafing out. Thanks again Bill!!!!!

NIce branching too :)

looks good celeste - only one from diana has leafed out here - my otome Z has not leafed yet - think the cold weather here as slowed them down.

Disappointing about the ginko, Bill! Pixie, love the color on that JM!

i have deleted my comments above about broken arrow nursery - yes a one gal. ginko arrived with a broken branch, they are replacing it with a 2 gal ginko - so i can not complain at all!

now for some GREAT revues - received my order from buckrun nursery - huge trees - if in doubt go to buckrun !

That's great that they made good on the broken one

yes it is - i will save the other by making another branch the leader - it will just take a while to grow

Glad things resolved, Bill.....hope to see photos of all your new shrubs when they get planted.....

Arrived home to find my Davidsan JM boxes at the garage door. They arrived today. Will open tomorrow.

they upper the replacement to a 2 gal. - just need ot know what you are getting.

will have to check with david on my order too - victor

Received my Bluestone order today 2 of the plants were backordered till the fall
