I would like to say that-- I joined this group about three months ago just because I am enamored with the Native plantings. Well not just trees, but all --from skunk cabbage to Tamaracks. I am a lowly Landscape Designer and Horticulturist for a S.W. Pennsylvania Nursery I sit here on the slow days and read some of the terrific posts, and cannot wait until the CENTS show, and Spring, and the wonders for the next season. My interest is the Native plants here in PA-- well I am from northern Ohio, and moved here six years ago, and have found that people have the crazy deer problems, and are really not knowledgeable as to where plants should be sited-- example would be ---OH lets put this Cornus florida right here in the front yard of a south facing house. This has become my mission, to introduce the natives, and to educate the clients. I am a big fan of the Ilex opaca, and have not seen any posts on this-- As you see by my screen name, the Nyssa is my baby--just really enjoy the tree-- When I travel to southern Ohio, and WV on my mushroom, and ginseng hunts, I do come across some of the most intriguing native stands of oaks, beech,and the wonderful shagbark hickory. I just need to bring the camera sometimes! I would like to post my thoughts on the Bamboo--yes I had seventeen varieties-- The Norway Spruce---well I do like Pinus bungeana better--ehhh not native but-- anyways--time for dinner Jeffrey -- Eastern Native Tree Society http://www.nativetreesociety.org Send email to [email protected] Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/entstrees?hl=en To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] -- Eastern Native Tree Society http://www.nativetreesociety.org Send email to [email protected] Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/entstrees?hl=en To unsubscribe send email to [email protected]
