Of course that...I think the tree form is the best. Of course that's really just an opinion. Around here most people clip them down to stubs around 4-5 feet tall and leave them like that. That will cause more branching I suppose but makes it turn into a shrub and steals the natural appeal from the tree form. Maybe it is because people haven't seen the beauty in the tree form. I would prefer to leave them at Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00524456191483377274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-10946421688786027792008-01-08T07:09:00.000-06:002008-01-08T07:09:00.000-06:00Hey Dawn,Congrats on the house-can't wait to see i...Hey Dawn,<BR/>Congrats on the house-can't wait to see it! I know you are happy. Finally lots of elbow room. Organization and a new orchard!<BR/><BR/>Hi Dave,<BR/>I never heard it called myrtle murder. I love it. I call it crepe murder. I am going to do a post on pruning these favorite small trees of mine as people around here don't know how to treat them. Is it the same by your area?

I actually had to re-pot 7 butterfly bush cuttings today. They wanted out if their little pot.

I planted a bunch of daffodil bulbs-an experiment to see how they do. I think they will do fine. <BR/><BR/>Skeeter, love the pictures especially the last one. I have had a bunch of questions on pruning crepes and yours is the way i like it so i plant to do a post on that-your picture came in handy.

Well my hooiser could also be refinished so you can always come here for work. Also my Larkin Desk....it really does not need to be refinished but I would like a lighter color on it. I hope the electrician's ears are hurting him cause they should be from my cussing at him.

OMG, I know from when I lived in Georgia the temptures feel very different and 20 down there feels like our 0 and I have yet to see 0 here this winter. Right now it is in the 40's with what snow we have left melting and water running every where. It won't hit the 70's but we will be in the 50's tomorrow.
