Great pics! Looks like you have some serious planting to do. My back is aching just thinking about it.
Cheers, Barrie.

No more planting this year Barrie. I`m going to concentrate on the six I have in the ground so far. I`m planning a major landscping project for Sept and will decide where more things will be planted next spring.

Fantastic collection. I showed your pics to my wife and I think that she is more accepting of my small collection.

Thanks

Laaz my wallet is still smoldering

Arctic my wife enjoys the palms as much as me. That wasn`t the case when I first started collecting palms.

Fabulous, John, great plants, great yard.
Love the instant privacy on your sundeck.

Hope you don't mind my saying so but
that Trachy in the wooden box is very thirsty.
Spears almost fold up when they're dehydrated.

Mine looked like that for a week and I finally flooded it (it's in the ground).
Perked up immediately.
It's tough to keep any water near the rootball when in a wooden box, and
wind goes right through wooden slats.

I'd bring it to my house

and water it FOR YOU,

Barb

Barb the hot weather we`ve been having in combination with the trip up from San Diego probably has shocked it a little. I find Trachy`s don`t like our hot dry sunny weather and do better in part ,to mostly shaded. It gets regular drip irrigation. Good thing we got rain today for the first time in weeks we need it badly.

That would be great Jay. I really should have some sp. of cactus native to the Okanagan. If you want I have some really cold hardy junior Trachys I got from Kentucky I could give you one of those to try.

Post by **Jay-Admin** » Tue Jun 05, 2007 12:13 pm

I'll try a trachy out.

I can also give you some bigger Opuntia pads to try.
