***Official gardening, landscape and yardwork thread***
We had a 2014 gardening thread and another planting trees thread. Figured it would be better just to have a general thread to share knowledge about all things yards.

I've learned stuff about growing things here in the desert from people all around the country. Post pictures and share your knowledge!

I hate freaking Pin Oaks. If a branch breaks near the end of the limb the whole branch dies to the trunk. Then you are constantly picking up dead branches that blow down in a storm or any high wind. They also go through cycles of heavy acorns that those grey tree rats love. Fox Squirrels can't digest them if you have those Red squirrels kiss them goodbye. The greys breed like rabbits and Fox squirrels hate them and move on. Greys dig little holes in your lawn digging up the billions of pin oak nuts they will drop. Then any auto left out at night grays love to chew the insulation off wiring. Thats a nice bill to track down the electric short.

Northern Catalpa is a nice native Missouri tree that has big ass leaves and cool white blooms in spring. It is a bean tree so it produces long bean pods that look like green beans. They are a slight niusence to pick up when they drop. But not as bad as Ash with those helicopter seed pods.


Kentucky coffee is native and a cool tree too but drops bean pods. When the pods dry out good shake then and sounds like a rattlesnake.



Missouri Bald Cypress is another cool Missouri native tree that the conservation department pushes to be planted here in Mo. It is a deciduous conifer so the bows turn golden brown at fall drops cones and can be acidic to blue grass lawns.

I have a couple of Linden trees. Those Japanese Beetles love them.

Oh you can. Just takes a decent amount of work the first few years so the heat or winter doesn’t kill them. I have 6 in the ground now. They grow much slower here as growing season is only March to October.

I just cleaned all the shit outta my backyard landscaping that has taken it over the last couple of years. That's not too exciting. Just a bunch of saplings and weeds and vines and whatever.

But I did plant some herbs and peppers and got some tomato plants growing so I'll check in here once they get rolling hopefully

I've had really good luck with a gingko biloba I planted when I bought this place ~25 years ago (Shawnee, KS). Growing well, nothing seems to bother it. I like the shape of the leaves and their autumn color. With my memory problems, I probably ought to gather the leaves and make tea - supposed to be good for us.

The dwarf cherry I planted at the same time is sure 'nuff a dwarf, but it puts out lot of small cherries. I leave 'em for the neighbors to share with their kids, it seems to gather a lot of good will - since I turned diabetic after I planted the tree, the cherry pies I was hoping for are moot. This way I'm a nice old guy. Eh, just don't touch my good whiskey, kids.
