Hi Gang
Has anyone done business with Angelgrove here?
They have Himelayan White Pine, Japanese Zelkovas,
and many other fine conifers. Also rare ones and
J.Maples, I love the "moon" leaf one.

These are seeds by the way.
I am also looking for Eucalyptus globulus( not compactus.)
I think they might have that too, I need to go back to their
web site and check.

I would love to trade or pay for postage, shipping and handling forsome pines and some trees.
I used to have a pseudocupressocyparis I think that was its
name, it was a weeping flat fan spray array of cupresses
scales. It was very pretty. I managed to kill it. I had to transplant
it from upstate NY to Long Island, and I did something to it.
The tips started going brown, and no matter if I watered or
fed, it just bit the bullet, I think. I moved to Michigan before it
looked worse. Maybe its still alive. I don't know, but I think
about it all the time.

I have my DH go to the local nurseries and ask the nursery
workers for all their old cells and flats and no.2's. We bring
em home and soak them in bleach soln. before we use them.

We are trying this year to build (LOL i wrote plant a greenhouse)
a greenhouse.
Well if anyone would like some SASBE or "larger", please
let me know. I love trees, and need them like crazy. I love
Green Giant thujas also. I adore Leyland cypresses, all types
and they grow nicely here too. My secret pals are Norway
Spruces, and I have some Metasequoias glyptostroboides that
call me "mom". I also adore my Douglas Firs. I am thinking
about putting in an allee' of 400 feet of Siberian Spruces.
I have about a few weeks before I make up my mind.

Can anyone recommend a fantastic tree book for me? I have
my succulents series and also some mighty giant Exoticas for
plants, but no real great one for trees. I love to look at pictures
of real big trees in natural settings.

Well, thanks for all your help with any of the above!
Hurry up Spring!
