» Georgene A. Bramlage - Angela,

Thanks for suggesting Fr. Fiala's book on crabapples to your readers. Some might like to read my review of this wonderful and complete book Flower Crabapples: The Genus Malus at Landscaping. Fr. Fiala taught and did his research work just a "stone's throw" from where I grew up...so I feel a special affinity for him and his crabapples!

"Prairie Fire" is one of my favorite crab apples. And with a little searching readers can find some gorgeous weeping cultivars...great for using in place of the short-lived weeping cherries.

Cheers!

I'd love to be able to grow Arbutus where I live in western MA. My substitute, and a great plant in its own right, is Cornus kousa which has bright red dangling fruit that look like little Christmas tree balls hanging fom the tree. The birds love them!

Thanks for that great tip!

There sure is a difference zone to zone what we can get away with in the garden isn't there?
