Dave1290 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Nothing like 5 pages of scroll to read. Whew! At least I got a haircut last week, scrubs, rain water, lead pipes and a darn rhododendron bush to get rid of here. Any ideas? I'm thinking a flame thrower at this point... 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasshopper Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 depends on if you want anything to grow there after the rhododendron... I have some things growing , I wish I could rid myself of. Some stuff called Graythorn. Lovely plant/bush. Every growing end has a hard point. Thorn like a hawthorn. Stout and long. Has another endearing trait... When it blooms, the pollinators it attracts are wasps and flies. Thanks. it does give edible berries, if you don't mind losing a pint of blood to get them. And they aren't that good to start with. Anyway.... Cutting it down doesn't work. Can't dig it up.... So, I pruned it into a tree form and sent it up out harms way 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Too Bad you're not closer @Dave1290 Tried to get them to grow here thirty years ago. Invested in a half dozen white flowered Rhododendrons, figured if they sold them here it would work in this climate zone. Nope, they grow wild in the mountains but not down this far into the foothills. It's too hot here in the summer. I've go to replace the stuff in front of the house now and don't want to spend another dime on this darn yard. Acid Rain is very real and what it did up at Mt. Mitchell that I took pictures of in the early 90s was awful as far as I could see towards each of the four or five states you can see from the top. I'll see if I can get a couple from the printer to the pc tomorrow, got to find them first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
