Adam "Seeds" - we need to connect as I live in Beamsville as well. You have some awesome plants and I would like to chat with you about winter protection ideas... I have 2 Trachy's that have overwintered the past 2 years and a Glauca that has overwintered the past 4 years. All are doing great, and ...

I have 1 plant left for sale - let me know if you are interested. The plant is in a pot ready to be planted - currently around 48" tall. This section was taken from a plant that reached 96" last summer at my location in Southern Ontario. This is a proven winner and a deal @ $25.00 (FOB - Beamsville ...

Where were you in Niagara Paul? Looks like St. Catharines area....

Front yard (North Facing) garden has gone crazy this summer. The Cannas really seem to love this garden and location. http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb206/tropical_niagara/IMG_0938.jpg http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb206/tropical_niagara/IMG_0937.jpg http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb206 ...

This plant took a beating last week in our heavy winds ..... now the old and new leaves have brown spots on them. Is this plant going to be ok? I know the season is almost over, so I will not be too worried, as long as the plant will come back better than ever next year. I am going to store the Musa ...

Ok, So my Musa Basjoo did not perform to my expectations .... I bought a new plant this spring @ Broadway and planted it in a large pot way back in April. It was my expectation to see a beautiful 8' tree come September, however, I currently have a healthy 2' to 3' leaf making machine .... not quite ...

Thanks for all the info - it is very helpfull. I hope this plant makes a complete recovery .... The new leaves pushing out now are a little larger. I have a new spear showing that looks to be thick and healthy - perhaps the weather we are having right now is really helping. I am planning to bring ...

I purchased the 1 gal. Trachy back in the spring from Broadway in St. Catharines. When I brought this plant home I noticed it had some serious frost damage and part of the new spear broke off and pulled out. I thought all was lost, but after some research (thanks to this board, and others) I decided ...

How long have you had your first Trachy for and has it overwintered here yet?
I want to plant mine in the garden, but I am worried about loosing it. Yours looks great by the way .... keep it up.

Talk to you soon,

Ok - we have trouble, BIG TROUBLE here ...... you see, my wife loves this little thing, however, it is growing some crazy leaves (nothing like the original ones) and it looks pretty bad. I have attached some photos, with the hope someone can help me with this. I would like to simply cut these new ...

Hi, I am really enjoying watching these "babies" grow .... I bought a young Trachy and Needle this spring, but have yet to plant them in the ground. I suspect I will keep them in the planters as I want them to grow large (I feel the only way to do that is by bringing them inside over the winter ...

Thanks for the info, very helpful. I will be sure to keep it watered, as it is wilting just a bit. The soil I planted it in is excellent, lots of "organic" matter for feeding. Do you think I will still need to add more fertilizer? I would really like to plant this in an actual bed, but I worry about ...

I have reposted this message in the cold hardy general forum ... along with some pics. Please have a look and let me know your thoughts.

Thanks,

Chris

Hi, Finally had a chance to upload some photos ..... This plant is producing leaves and growing very quickly, but it does not seem to be growing vertically. I have had it outside in my sunny south facing back yard since April 24th Have a look and let me know if the growth is normal or not ...

Hi, Newbie here ..... I have been reading the posts and following along for the past few weeks while waiting for my account to be activated. Great info from everyone, can't wait to take part in the conversations. Ok, my question -I have a Musa from Broadway in St. Kitts (great plant) that has been ...
