I planted my blue Cunninghamia in its original spot with the idea that someday the mulch of dead branchlets it creates would smother the weedy brush just behind it. Of course, I just moved it, but it can mulch itself faster where it is now because it won't be so parched! Looking forward to Eucalyptus and bamboo mulching themselves, someday, too.Evan Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732413653862912387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-86791341282614860582016-04-07T12:18:35.884-07:002016-04-07T12:18:35.884-07:00Wait...there are fish down there?

Our biggest problem is in May/June when the Cottonwood trees shed their "cotton" all over the neighborhood. It's pretty, but it's messy, too.

Of course, when you site the pond in full sun with nothing overhead, it fills up even faster with algae, including the dreaded string algae, which you can't get off with a pond skimmer on a pole. We had that problem with our pond in Massachusetts. Great shot of the western skunk cabbage. I keep hoping this year will be the year mine produces a bloom, but it's just foliage so far.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323262555906240701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-49488732818013537442016-04-06T08:22:34.428-07:002016-04-06T08:22:34.428-07:00I think your mulch is far more decorative than tha...I think your mulch is far more decorative than that usual brown stuff.
