Corylopsis pauciflora and Daffodils - dozens of daffs of all sorts, planted by previous owner and multiplying like crazyĢ. today, it is white everything covered in 6 inches of snow.ġ. Yesterday, I would have said the predominant colour in my garden was yellow. Cardamine hirsuta (most annoying weed ever) The rest have started to bloom in just the past few days -Ĩ. Self-seeded hellebore - maybe 5 or 6 years old now. Hellebore already starting to change to mature colouration.Ĥ. Here's what I discovered this lovely day. I always think that when I see the first slug that spring has truly arrived. Now, however, all kinds of other flowers are joining in the display and leaves are starting to show on bare branches. Hellebores have been real troupers so far in 2022, bringing life and colour to an otherwise quite drab scene. The reason I think this is a good idea is that the original thread is getting to be a bit unwieldy. Perhaps the few posts that she has made so far this year could be moved over. I propose starting a new virtual garden tour for 2022 if other contributors like are in agreement. Under this mound of snow is a yucca filamentosa 'Color Guard'Īnd the first casualty of 2022 - the weight of the snow and ice snapped off several large limbs of my arbutus unedo This yucca rostrata had been potted for several years while it grew roots but last Fall I figured it was robust enough to finally be planted.hope I wasn't wrong The earlier postings come first, so I have copied Margot's introduction into posting.Īfter watching the snows almost disappear a couple of days ago when the temperatures reached a high of 4C we woke up to this. But in a container, root damage in American holly would begin to occur at 23 degrees if left unprotected - a drastic difference from -20 degrees.Margot wrote: I propose starting a new virtual garden tour for 2022 if other contributors like are in agreement. In the ground and insulated by the earth, that’s usually no problem for the roots of hollies in Zone 5 where the average minimum temperature is -10 to -20 F. The top part (stems and foliage) of the plant will survive to a temperature of about -20 F, but immature roots die at 23 degrees above zero, and mature roots at nine degrees. American holly (Ilex opaca) is hardy to USDA Zone 5. When exposed to the cold, young roots are unable to acclimate and die back.Īnd, young or old, the roots are usually not has hardy as the plant’s top. In containers, young roots grow on the outer part of the rootball. Mature roots can gradually get used to the cold, but young, immature roots can’t. Hannah Mathers, assistant professor in nursery and landscape extension at Ohio State University in Columbus. “Essentially any type of container exposes the roots to ambient temperatures,” says Dr. The issue varies from species to species. I don’t know if the issue has ever been studied of trees not used as ornamental plants in large pots on a regular basis. I don’t grow my trees in pots exposed to coldest temps because the nurseries around here always keep their’s protected by piling up mulch for protection- so I can’t speak from experience because I imitated them after reading that the relative vulnerability of roots to cold is unpredictable. Jam from it is really medicinal, mixed with tea, it helps fight with fever and common cold. Some cultivars are so delicious for fresh eating and just a little bit sour! Even sour ones: irreplaceable for some traditional meat dishes. Wild are super sour but if you keep them on a plate for few days they become sweeter and edible. I am in a hunt for Cornelian Cherries because you won’t find them in local stores (not profitable for farmers), and because I know its’ taste (I am from Eastern Europe). What if some other nurseries import the same plant and then register it under some other names… here is description in Russian, same plant, It places them to the level of crooks from Green Barn Nursery who sells “Illinois Everbearing” under name “Montreal Mulberry”. And I also believe changing name from “Radost” to Red Dawn Cornelian Cherry ™ (see and registering Ukrainian variety as trademark in USA is kind of illegal practice, at the very least it is not ethical.
