Shihtzumom - Beautiful lavender Crape! One of my favorite colors. I planted a Muskogee in the front yard for my husband.....lavender was his mother's favorite flower color. It's about 20ft. tall now and still growin'.

Peony01 - Thanks for the info....definitely gonna try it. Do you bottom water to keep the soil from compacting? Right now my problem is too much rain. Not enough to keep the grass from dying, but just enough to rot new cuttings in pots. Have you ever tried starting a flowering crabapple? Flowering peach? Are different trees harder than others? I really want to learn how to do this. Up until now I've been an inside gardener and a perennial gardener. Gotta learn how to do the shrub and tree thing. : )
