It is not entirely hardy here, so I bring it in for winter. I have the same problem regarding latin names. However, I recently saw a latin plant label which would be appropriate for a number of plants and which is easily remembered: Plantum whydidibuyum.debsgardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15656883577922890561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-82239592163846586752017-05-14T13:52:39.375-07:002017-05-14T13:52:39.375-07:00Blowing away honeysuckles, I see.

I seem to remember Loree (the person) fretting that her tree might be dying too the year before it bloomed, because it was losing leaves when it hadn't lost them in previous years. These trees are normally evergreen as juveniles, and once they reach maturity (old enough to bloom) they can become deciduous. Some forms remain evergreen into adulthood, but the deciduous forms are hardier, so that's what reputable nurseries sell in the PNW. No blooms on my three yet, but I'm just happy the two I relocated didn't die in the move!Evan Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732413653862912387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-41681311655704820452017-05-12T16:43:10.847-07:002017-05-12T16:43:10.847-07:00This was the IT tree a couple of years ago.

Mine is nowhere near as big yet, but I'm hoping for similar blooms in the future. I hope yours continues to thrive for a long time too.
