Granny's gone and done it again

[Granny Hatchet]

Hi Cap, Granny. No, we don't have any on the property yet. Want some from the forest. I'll look up air layering, thanks,

your welcome.

The wild ones don't look the same as the cultivated. We want a "heritage" tree.

well you can dig one from the woods. Just be mindful of the roots. Leave as many as possible. I did buy one from Lowes a few years back that was supposed to be white and looked "wild" but when it bloomed it was pink. They like part shade.

I wonder if TheMan can ID one in winter. All deciduous trees look the same to me and I SURE don't want to got one of those invasive pear trees!

I got really lucky and met a woman who had an old nursery. She sold me thiss. I love it.

Happy birthday, Cap! Hope you had a great day.

Nothing stellar, but i am still among the living.

I still need to go out and put the kids in the barn.

That's really pretty. But one thing we really like about the wild dogwood is how the branches are arranged. Not like an upright spray like this one you showed me, but like a series of flat fans, more layered looking. We don't see that in nursery plants.
