Can...Hi Chris, Hope your trip is going well... Can't wait to hear all about it.<br /><br />We live 2000 feet up on the Cumberland Plateau. It's a great place to live --but if we have an early spring and the flowers all start growing --there's always a fear of a late spring FREEZE in this area. WELL--in 2007, we had it... Lost so many of our flowers that year and even the new leaves on the big shade trees turned black. It was horrible. <br /><br />SO--since 2007, we are very protective of our flowers in the spring. We haven't had a bad freeze luckily since 2007--but we have had some scares. AND YES----we did cover our plants and flowers at least 2 different years to protect them.. Once we get to about April 15th--we are usually okay when it comes to freezes. <br /><br />SO---you asked what we would do to save a plant/tree. We would do whatever it takes.<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-40774074890736160252012-06-07T14:06:33.077-07:002012-06-07T14:06:33.077-07:00The jacaranda trees are just great.

Last year the rock rose succumbed to the cold weather and I have replaced that. I am most attached to the Whitebeam Tree in our garden - it was about a metre high seedling when we moved in and now its huge! I would be really upset if anything ever happened to that.Ragged Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090463834740346114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-20081842714434174862012-06-07T09:13:29.671-07:002012-06-07T09:13:29.671-07:00I had a Jacaranda in my yard that quickly grew to ...I had a Jacaranda in my yard that quickly grew to higher than my two story house. I love that tree for almost nine years. Then it became too large for the space I provided and a nuisance to my neighbor. I had to have it taken out.

Their leaves are a compound leaf with smaller leaflets which fall off and gather or rather collect and clog poool filters.<br /><br />I also remember them in Mexico. Back in 1998 when I was flown down to Cancun by a company I worked for, we made the first customs stop to Mexico City. Incredibly it was a ver warm yet claer day. That allowed for very clear views of the city below as we came in. What I remember most were the miles upon miles of avenues and boulevards stretching all across that city in all sorts of different directions. I seem to remember they also have a pleasant fragrance.<br /><br />Kevin<br /><br /><br />-Chaparral Earthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618976919417073750noreply@blogger.com
