Please suggest some appropiate flower names

SW,

I may have to give it some fertilizer, as the Eucs probably date back 80 or 90 years as they are huge, and have most likely used up the fertility in the soil. We get a few weeds and grass along that fence but not nearly as much as along the others. What would you suggest as spacing for the vines?

Ernie

I'd have to go count but I think I only planted three vines and they cover about 40 or 50 feet of fence.
I'd probably plant them about 10 feet apart. Starting about 10 feet from the corner of the fence you want to cover. Just check your emitters to make sure they aren't clogged.
If you can get past them Euc roots, (a problem I have with my poplars), just sweeten the hole you will plant the Honeysuckle in, by giving them some nice dirt. Check and see if they become well established and if you need to fertilize again in like 6 months or sooner if needed. You'll know. You'll do fine. : - )
The sooner you plant them, the better chance they have of surviving and covering that old chain link fence. : - )
Oh boy, am I glad you said that about the Curly leaf willow. A beautiful tree, but such a short life span.
Almost as bad as the Monterrey Pines. Probably why I prefer the oaks and the walnut. : - )
Now I don't feel like I killed the poor thing. I got it as a shoot from DH's Gpa's place in No. CA. It lived in a pot for a few years then I planted it out by the pond. I kind of miss it, it was a nice place to sit and I liked the way the wind sounded through the leaves. If I ever get another one, I won't be planting it by the fish pond though. : - )
I'll plant it up by that leaky pipe at our rental. I hate wasting water.
Hope it helps Ernie, and it is good to hear from you again. Mine are pretty drought hardy, and before I got the auto drip I handwatered them about 3 times a week for about 15 minutes a time. Somehow they survived.
I'm sure they'll be much happier where you live. : - )

SW,

Do not spend any money when you replace the curly willow. We propagated those by just taking a dormant first year limb, meaning one without side branches, and sticking them in the ground and jumping back. They take root very easily and grow fast. They were never big sellers, but some of us like them, and the curly branches make very nice flower arrangements without the leaves.

Ernie,
I liked to carve them branches into snakes and make them into wonderfully crooked magic wands. Got to strip off the bark first and then sand them down. After they are painted and sealed they last for a long time as long as they aren't used in battle. LOL!
Mine died about 4 or 5 years ago, and I don't know of anyone who has them growing, but I'll remember for when I do find one. : - )
Thanks Ernie.

SW,
I brought two down to Chino for my daughter, but i think one died, too. If she still has one, i will get some whips or cuttings from it next winter for you. if i remember, of course. It may have died or got in to her sewer lines, but she had two at one time.

Ernie

Thanks Ernie,
That would be sweet of you. I know I was sad, when it died, but mostly because of the memories it carried with it of Gpa Roy. He was a really nice man. He could water witch. He was really good at it too! He walked our farm, and was even pretty accurate how far down we had to go to find the water.
You know Ernie, I hadn't thought about that for a long time, but I'm glad you reminded me. : - )
