Has anyone had success growing pawpaw in cold climates? I have gardens in Zones 4 and 5 (or 5 and 6, depending on who you ask), and am interested in getting some of that lovely custardy pawpaw fruit growing on one of them. |

I had a friend who wanted to grow them. I came across a garden book that said that the trees will survive here in the north, but the summer is too short for the fruit to ripen. After she read that, she decided not to bother trying to plant any. You are a little farther south, so maybe you might more successful there. Northwoodswis |

I found a company called Miller Nurseries who is selling a pawpaw they claim to be hardy to -20 (zone 4). That should be good for you. Good luck. Also, I know this is a little off topic, but I've heard that zebra swallowtails lay their eggs on this plant. Maybe you'll see some caterpillars! |
A solid Zone 5 climate shouldn't be an issue. A Zone 4 will be iffy. Genetics and provenance of the plant would probably make a big difference in marginal areas. |
-20 isn't zone 4, I wouldn't go by what nursery catalogs are saying. They tend to stretch things obviously for saleability. I have a pawpaw that's been here for awhile and its taken temps down to -26F. I haven't heard if pawpaw is able to take temps down in the -30s though. Maybe somebody on here has been trying. |

Paw paws have been fruiting in Madison, WI that last 2 years i've been down there... The trees are pretty big. Both were named varities. I think one was "sunflower" ...i'd have to dig through my pics to find out exactly. |

We have 15 acres of wild Paw Paws in Kansas on the zone 5-6 border. Our best producers have been trees grown from choice seed - low seed count and heavy weighted fruit. My family has Illinois farms and Paw Paws grow just as well there. I would agree that zone 4 would be iffy at best. I bought a huge bag of seeds from Lawyer Nursery years ago just for fun and the trees grew very much like our native stand. It might be a inexpensive way to go for testing the zone 4 possibility. Make sure to hang a dead fish somewhere to make sure your flowers get pollinated (they're fly - not bee pollinated). In my blog archives (Sept 2009) there's several mentions of paw paws and a few links to news articles/videos etc - Rick Godsil, Wagon Wheel Orchard |

Wow Franktank, that's a beautiful little pawpaw tree, thanks for posting that picture. NYgardener, it sounds like others have given you some great advice on trying pawpaw... Rather than add my guess as to success in zone 4, I'll put it more technically: Pawpaws require a frost free growing season of around 160 days and at least 2600 GDD (growing degree days) to ripen. If you've got this, I don't think you're exact zone really matters all that much (few true zone 4 climates would meet this criteria I think, and the newest zone maps show very little zone 4 climates left in the continental US). Hope this helps... |
- Posted by nygardener z6 New York (My Page) on Wed, Jan 26, 11 at 14:53
Thanks for the good advice, all! I think I'll try a few seedlings as well as named strains in both locations and see how they perform. |
- Posted by MisterTristern none (My Page) on Thu, Jan 27, 11 at 21:02
KansasApple- Good advice regarding the dead fish! I have several of these paw paw trees and had difficulty in getting them pollinated until I hung some chicken around one tree. Do you hang decaying matter on each tree? My trees are exaclly very close together. |
Michigan State University did trials here and found that NC-1 and Davis produced the best fruit there. Michigan State is in Lansing Michigan which is a little north of me. We are in the middle of zone 5. NC-1 was developed in Ontario. I think that is your best bet. |
Pawpaws are native up through Ontario. Give them a try. And yes, I tie road kill in the trees. |
- Posted by nygardener z6 New York (My Page) on Sat, Jan 29, 11 at 10:12
Good to know. I think I'll look for varieties that are known to do well in cold areas, so that the trees aren't damaged by the occasional harsh winter. |
I don't believe any of the varieties will be damaged by your colder weather. The only problem with colder zones is ripening time. In other words late ripening varieties might never ripen in a shorter season. Like I said, NC-1 and I think Davis were both developed in Ontario |

- Posted by nygardener z6 New York (My Page) on Tue, Feb 22, 11 at 17:47
Thanks! I'll look for those -- I'll need to plant a few different varieties for pollination, from what I understand. They'll be planted near a cattle farm, so hopefully there will be enough flies about. |

There was a study done in 1999 in upstate NY in an area that was zone 5b. http://www.pawpaw.kysu.edu/PDF/merwin03.pdf NC-1 and Taytwo did well and are fairly easy to find. Of note, they did not have any Peterson Pawpaws tested, I think because they were not available then. Ordered an NC-1 and Allegheny (Peterson) for the spring of 2014, wish me luck! Zone 5a here. |
OIKOS Tree Crops claim their pawpaws are hardy down to -30F: http://www.oikostreecrops.com/Pawpaw--ECOS/p--305/ My Sunflower pawpaw bit the dust after two years of good growth just south of the Twin Cities, MN. It appears the bark took so much of a freeze-thaw beating that it killed the poor thing. I think the coldest it saw was a night or two of -25F? When I try pawpaws again, I think I'll go with OIKOS simply for the fact that they're seed-grown; if they ever get frozen back at least I don't have to worry about a bud union. |

The trees at the garden in Madison, WI aren't Sunflower, they're not commonly available varieties. I want to say one is Watson, something that begins with a W, anyway. I have PC Golden and NC-1, but they're young and haven't fruited. In fact, they're still short enough to be covered by snow during that cold snap last week. A relative in northern WI, zone 4, remembers eating wild pawpaw from the woods around his house about 70 years ago. He said they were tiny, the size of your little finger. If you try some grafted, known early-ripening varieties, it's worth a shot. |
- Posted by CharlieBoring 7 (My Page) on Wed, Jan 15, 14 at 8:38
fruitmaven - Peterson had a cultivar called "wabash." There is also an Indiana cultivar called "wilson." |
- Posted by fruitmaven.WIz5 5 (My Page) on Wed, Jan 15, 14 at 13:46
Wilson, that is the name of one of them, at least. I'll look at the tag for the other when I go there again. (The garden has a tropical conservatory as well, so it is a nice winter destination.) |
Of the Peterson Pawpaws, Allegheny appears to be the best bet if you are in a zone 4 or 5. The fruit is smaller and seedier than his other varieties, though still much better than wild ones. The smaller fruit ripens faster, so you are much more likely to get a harvest before winter sets in. Keep in mind, I will be getting my first Pawpaws this spring (2014) so I am not speaking from direct experience, just what I have been able to find with persistent searching on the internet. |

Pawpaws are extremely tough to get established as new young plants, let alone in a z4 location where the ground freezes deeply. Pawpaws and any borderline plants takes at least 3 full growing seasons to get established. The roots have to be able to get deep, and the top wood must develop sufficient girth to become fully hardy. While not in z4, Colorado is a tough climate to get them to take because of our dry air, high altitude extreme sun, and nearly daily freeze thaw cycles in winter. In the process of losing many plants (pawpaws and others) and experimenting, I have learned a few ways to get them through the first 2-3 years which is when failure is most likely. I have established and grow several plants which are not considered hardy in my climate such as southern magnolia, figs, hardy palm and others. Setting young plants out in the spring after frost, use a wall-o-water around the plant, and locate plants on an east exposure next to a house. Use bamboo sticks to hold the wall -o-water as open as possible when the weather gets hot, and keep it well watered. Leave the wall-o-water on all year, and remove all but one of the bamboo poles in the fall. Bury the whole works in dry leaves at least 6"+ thick, and 3 feet wide after the little plant drops its leaves. To keep the leaves in place use burlap or similar material to cover the mounded leaf pile. Plastic may be okay in wet climates. In spring, gradually remove the cover and leaves, but keep the wall of water in place to protect the plant from late freezes. In summer, the plant may outgrow the top of the wall of water, and may be removed. In fall replace the wall-o-water and repeat the process from the year before. The next spring after danger of frost remove the wall-o-water. In fall just mulch deeply in leaves. Seedling plants of early ripening cultivars on own roots in pots seem to be the hardiest. Use foam pipe insulation tubes to wrap as much trunk as possible each fall, and deep mulch. Remove in spring. I hope this is helpful. Once well established, they should be able to take severe winter cold that wipes out young plants. It seems to me that it may be possible to grow pawpaws in those z4 locations that have sufficient summer warmth. |

The two pawpaws growing and fruiting in Madison, WI (zone 5a) are Wilson and an unnamed seedling. |

Ivywild142, Great advice! Just wondering what palm and what figs you have managed to grow with this method. |
- Posted by Ivywild142 6a (My Page) on Fri, Jan 31, 14 at 1:45
Responding to a prior inquiry, I have a sabal palm called McCurtain, and Chicago hardy fig. The method above has worked for me to establish many plants rated 1-2 zones warmer. The winter 2013-14 will be a real test winter for the Midwest. Pawpaws that are well established will probably make it. Those newly planted, or a few years old, may not survive in more northerly locations. Perhaps those buried in deep snow will be okay. Even well protected marginal plants may fail to survive in such severe conditions. It will be interesting to find out what survives and what fails come spring. |

There are native pawpaws in NY. Pretty cool huh? A tropical that got stranded when the glaciers moved south and survived to the point where now it won't grow in my area. |

2008 Best Corporate AV Project
Ask Bob Dougherty, global IT manager at Haworth, why integrating AV into the company's new headquarters was challenging, and he says, ?Because it had to be integrated into Haworth's products, including credenzas, tables, and walls.?
The Haworth Gallery comprises five LCDs (two of which are touchable) portraying the history and general overview of the company.

WHEN YOUR BUSINESS IS workplace solutions, you already have a trained eye for integration, architecture, and design. Ask Bob Dougherty, global IT manager at Haworth, why integrating AV into the company's new headquarters was challenging, and he says, "Because it had to be integrated into Haworth's products, including credenzas, tables, and walls." In other words, no ordinary integration would do for Haworth and AV firm AVI-SPL.
Indeed, One Haworth Center is more than just an office building. It's a showroom for what the company calls its organic workspaces. The building's soaring atrium is bejeweled with such areas, each anchored by a media wall designed for launching into impromptu presentations. X20 Media's digital signage software and Panasonic touch overlays at 10 different locations create interactive kiosks. Content is pushed from a central server to any X20 player on its global network, which includes offices in London and Shanghai. Support columns in the atrium hide the space's sound reinforcement system. The team dressed up eight columns with a pair of vertically stacked 300-watt Bose MA12 modular line arrays. "We chose them for their ability to tightly control the sound in this space, which is made up mostly of glass and terrazzo floors," says Dougherty.
Throughout the building, the AV systems get the Haworth treatment—racks built into credenzas and plasma displays disappearing into furniture. In the main conference room, two 65-inch Panasonic plasmas flank a Draper Cinescreen rear-projection screen lit by a 3,000-lumen Panasonic 3-chip DLP WXGA projector. The podium holds a 17-inch Elo touchscreen that enables annotation. "The overarching AV theme was to create simple user interaction with technology components," explains Dougherty.

I want to correct myself:
The picture with the bee is not henbit! It is red top dead nettle (lamium purpureum)It has reddish tops and fuzzy leaves, henbit does not. Here is a picture of both: the round frilly leaf in the middle and upper r h side of the photo is henbit. I do this every year and have to research it once again. Henbit is lamium amplexicaule. Both are members of the mint family. |

Okay. So what I put heaps of in the compost bin today was dead nettle and not so much henbit. I guess I wouldn't have killed myself after all with a tea from it. Unless the "dead" in nettle means just that. Glad to have that information, Glenda. Thank you. Sunny |
A dead nettle doesn't sting. Have you ever walked through stinging nettles? Here is another bad guy. |
Here is a link that might be useful: ground ivy
I've rolled in stinging nettles (in CA) but not for long! |
That's so funny because just yesterday I was looking at some with its pretty lavender flowers and thinking to myself it looks just like lamium, the ground cover we pay money for, lol. I assume those are hybrids, but I still find it amusing. |
Some weeds are attractive for a time. When my sister visited from CA she thought my ground ivy was a ground cover I planted. It is an attractive plant and that is why I didn't get rid of it when I first noticed it. But it won't stop and will crowd out less aggressive plants. Dead nettle is kind of pretty when it has the purple tops and little flowers. It is a comfort that some may not know some plants are weeds. The other side of the coin, some plants I planted on purpose look like weeds to some. |
- Posted by christie_sw_mo Z6 (My Page) on Sun, Mar 6, 11 at 17:01
lol Taz I've never come across stinging nettles in my yard but I sure do remember getting into it when I was a kid. Glenda - I get those mixed up too. They're easy to tell apart. I just never can remember which is which. |
I always have maintained that a wildflower is just a weed with a pretty face. So while they are in bloom, the lamiums (nettles) are wildflowers......after that, they are weeds! They are pretty in bloom. I always leave a few in the wilder areas of my garden but the minute the flowers fade, they get yanked out. But then, I'm one who lets the dandelions and buttercups bloom in the lawn and have violets everywhere. I guess one person's wildflower is another's weed. |
I had a landscape guy out today (we're paying to have the heavy duty stuff done like massive mulching and putting down edging). He told me fall (Aug/Sept) is the time to put down pre-emergent for it. FYI. Now if I can only remember that. |
Helen, that looks pretty darned good to me! I tried some close-up macros after we talked about that feature and couldn't get a clear picture without using the zoom macro...I need to get that booklet out again. Re: The winter annual weeds...I am going to try to string trim them into the ground....since they are annuals looks like if we get rid of the blooms that would be a start. No blooms; no seeds. |
Good point, Glenda. Gorgeous pic, Helen! |
I don't worry about chickweed, deadnettle and henbit so much because they do go away. I think the soil is already full of seeds from other years, but you may be right. Some seeds don't remain viable. I'm afraid successful weeds probably have seeds that last. Ground ivy is another story. It grows stonger in the summer. |
I've been pulling out chickweed and the henbit family this afternoon. I do try to leave some henbit tho because the bees love the flowers. There seems to be a lot less henbit, etc than previous years, I guess because I've been working at pulling it out, but the chickweed never stops! And that stuff is hard to pull and get the roots, of course if you don't, it comes right back. |

Greek for "Hot City," Thermopolis is principally known for the world's largest mineral hot springs, which release more than 3 million gallons of geothermally-heated water per day.
Containing more than 27 minerals, these waters have long attracted visitors for their therapeutic properties. As a bonus, the cooling waters create colorful travertine terraces — "painted" by algae and wispy, rainbow-colored steam.
Located at the northern end of the stunning Wind River Canyon, Thermopolis is also known as an exceptional outdoor playground. It's surrounded by mountain ranges, with the 6,000-foot, volcano-shaped Roundtop Mountain towering above town.
Boasting 235 sunny days per year, Thermopolis offers soothing hot spring experiences, as well as great museums, hiking, whitewater rafting, geologic history that'll take you back millions of years and the most beautiful scenic drive in Wyoming — all served up with cordial cowboy conviviality.

CSS Image Map
At least der CSS code is in english for how to create an image map with CSS using little more than an unordered list over at moryson.net. You're going to have to fill in some of the gaps that arise from the language barrier, but the overall concept is pretty straightforward.

While on the iPad you are stuck with what Apple gives you, the Google Play Store is stocked with many excellent choices.
SwiftKey was one of the primary drivers in my switch from an iPhone to Android. Its strength lies in how it learns your writing patterns and returns astonishingly accurate predictions. After using it for a while you will be able to write full sentences by just tapping on the suggested word. It is very useful for those phrases that people tend to use regularly, like "thanks for getting in touch" or "I'll talk to you later." In all it is an excellent alternative to the bundled keyboard on an Android tablet.
By giving SwiftKey access to your Gmail and other online accounts it can further analyze your writing style (without sharing your personal information, the company promises).
Swiftkey was a Tabby Awards finalist in the Personal Productivity category in 2013.
Swype pioneered gesture-based typing, and it still leads the pack when it comes to this input method. The keyboard auto-suggests words while dragging your finger across the keyboard giving fairly accurate results for everyday words. Swype also crowd sources trending words and regularly updates the keyboard in an effort to make predictions easier.
This method of typing is not for everyone, as using Swype is less effective for obscure words or names. However, Swype the keyboard does include a traditional touch-type method for inputting specific words. It It also works with Dragon Dictation, allowing you to dictate words with your voice.
Tablet users benefit from Swype's split keyboard for tablet users and other configuration choices, such as a QWERTZ or AZERTY layout for for European users (Dvorak enthusiasts are out of luck).

ai.type Keyboard Plus
Just like its competitors, ai.type uses autocorrect and your usage patterns to make typing on a touch-screen device less painful. It distinguishes itself through a wide variety of customization options, which includes the ability to remove or rearrange letters for a customized keyboard. It also checks your grammar while typing, which is certainly useful during email messages.
The design is also significantly flatter than other keyboards, which in my opinion makes for a good-looking aesthetic.
Google Keyboard
Google has vastly improved its own keyboard, making it a consistent choice for tablet users. It has good spacing between keys and much improved sound effects when typing. Find the "advanced options" tab in the settings to weak the keystroke color or turn off vibration when typing.
Much like the iOS keyboard you can create personal shortcuts for frequently used words. As an example, you could tell Google to write "TabTimes" every time you type "tb." Even though it is built by Google, Android's wildly fragmented ecosystem means your Android device may not come with it installed.
If you are looking for a free, sensible keyboard that is not going to overwhelm you with features then Google Keyboard is a good choice.

Salinger the film directed and produced by book biographer Shane Salerno, a seasoned Hollywood screenwriter by day is very much a companion piece to Salinger the book. Since the written word conveys only so much, it's nice to actually see the oral history participants, who are by turns animated, introspective, even tearful. There's also an astonishing glimpse of Salinger himself in a never-before-seen World War II-era film clip. But frankly, there's not much else to look at. Given the sheer lack of existing pictures of the author, the filmmakers were forced to return to the same shots time and again, especially the brooding, iconic black-and-whites. They've had to pad Salinger with stock images, and shudder they've even added cringeworthy History channel-ish re-creations to the mix.
Though an earlier review incorrectly listed the movie's run time as two and a half hours, Salinger clocks in at two hours and nine minutes, at least 40 minutes too long. Like the book, it suffers from its creators' obsessive zeal. Only here, you can't page ahead to the next chapter. C

Two Bosses Enter: Vaelastrasz vs. Illidan
Illidan has a wide array of abilities at his disposal to wipe out any opposition. He's capable of heavy melee damage, high fire and shadow damage, and can summon a variety of minions to keep you occupied. Illidan's abilities at the start of the fight are as follows:
- Shear reduces the health of his main target by 60%
- Illidan will occasionally jump into the air and land in a patch of highly damaging blue flame
- Illidan will randomly target players to cast a parasites debuff on, which does shadow damage over time and then summons two parasites to attack the target
- Draw soul does heavy fire damage to targets in front of Illidan and heals Illidan
- Illidan will summon two massive fire elementals, the Flames of Azzinoth
- Every 30 seconds, Illidan will sweep an eye beam across the platform, doing heavy fire damage and leaving a trail of damaging fire behind it
- Illidan shoots fireballs that do splash damage
- Dark Barrage does heavy shadow damage to a random target, though it's rarely cast
For phase 4 (a quick phase, at 30 seconds long), Illidan will unleash the demon within. He turns into a black demon with powerful abilities, but is unable to move. During this phase, he'll cast:
- Shadow blast, a high damage shadow attack with splash damage
- Flame burst, an AoE fire-based DoT that does splash damage
- Aura of dread does a high amount of shadow damage over time as well as increasing the damage taken by shadow spells (stacks)
- Maiev Shadowsong joins the fight -- and though we usually don't consider adds for fights, I'm keeping Maiev in this fight because Illidan is just incredibly powerful. (And Maiev would be hunting him down whether he was in the Black Temple or dueling outside of Orgrimmar.)
- Illidan can enrage, randomly.
- Fire Nova: an AoE fire attack
- Flame Breath: a frontal AoE fire attack
- Cleave: a standard cleave, but with a twist -- it chains from target to target
So there you have it -- we have two bosses who pose immense challenges player raids, but against one another may not have much difficulty Who wins and who loses in this epic battle? It's nearly time for you to to tell us, but before that, a reminder: we're considering these two bosses with approximately equal health and approximately equal damage output capabilities. We aren't making this into a math equation of who's got more health than who, so when you cast your vote, cast it on fighting style, not highest level.

So I've been fretting about my Early Richmond for a couple years now, and so in June of 2011 I planted 4 Carmine Jewel that I'd ordered from Gurney's. (Along with a North Star from a local nursery) The CJ's were all pretty darn small, and two had leaf burn within a couple days of planting them, and one died soon after that. I told Gurney's that one died and they gladly put in an order for a replacement, but said it'd be the following year as it was too late to ship. So in 2012 they sent me two more. So I have 5 all together. Here's a picture of the biggest one of the 5, he's about 4 1/2' tall. So he was in the ground from June of '11, all of '12, and now '13. I'm fairly happy with the growth rate. I have another one about this size as well, then there are two that are like 3 1/2 and one that's about 2 feet. I sort of assumed with them being shrubs/bushes that I'd just let them be. But should I concern myself with any pruning of the inside branches that cross over each other? I have zero experience with shrubs of any kind. I don't know if any of the li'l CJ's will fruit this year, but I guess I don't care too much other than I'm just curious about the characteristics and all that jazz. I just felt like a 6-7' tall and maybe 6' wide bush would be just the ticket as I get more and more gray, but if I need to help it along with some pruning I sure can. Thanks! |

Well, I think some folks do little to no pruning, others in more humid areas, will prune to an open vase to allow more air flow into the middle of the bush, and they can get pretty bushy. Here is a link to more info on the dwarf sour cherries. I am growing them as my Big Cherry Experiment. My 'Carmine Jewel' is a little smaller than yours, going into its second season. I have 4 'Crimson Passion' sour cherries in 1 gal pots, getting bigger and leafing out that will go into the ground probably in May or June. We'll see if they will set fruit here in my area. If so, I will report back to the Univ. of Saskatchewan as I think they would be very interested to know how their lovely sour cherry cultivars do in a much warmer climate. It is just now leafing out for me, last of my stone fruits to leaf out (which is what I would expect) along with my Evans sour cherry. Patty S. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Dwarf Sour Cherry Guide
Patty, I'm wondering if you could construct a little chilling tent for them since some one on this forum or figs is bound to invent it next! Give them some chill hours! Hahahaha Seriously hahaha Nice looking bushes! You can probably look closely and see the flower vs. vegetative buds like I can on my plums. |
Thank you for that Patty. It does sound like a little open vase style is maybe the way to go. It can get way humid here! I'll be interested to know how they preform in your area too. Maybe not as interested as U of S, but still.... Thanks again! |
I'm not sure I would know the difference Noogy. I think I'll run out real quick while it's still a little light out and have a look-see! |

Michigan State University has also been studying these and experimenting with a number of tart cherries. Michigan produces about 70% of the tart cherries that go to market, Carmine Jewel and Crimson Passion are both in testing programs. Also a number of new cultivars developed by MSU for high density planting experiments. Some unusual combinations of Gisela root stocks with tart cherries are also being done. Since the industry is so important to MI, a huge number of experiments are going on. They are hoping to bring in the Romance series too for testing. MSU does market new cultivars, so we may see some out of these trials. I hope so! |

Thanks for the link, Drew. I hope I can get fruit set on mine, that will be the Big Experiment :-) Patty S. |
Thanks Drew, that was an interesting article. I think it was last year (but it could have been the year before?) when the late freeze hit Michigan and I'd read here on the forum where it had such an impact on the tart cherry market that our country was importing cherries from Poland (or something like that) to take up the slack. That's where I first read the huge market share as a percentage that Michigan had relative to tart cherries. It will be interesting to see what comes out of the trials for sure! Seeing all that snow-cover makes our Iowa weather seem down right balmy Don! It was late afternoon yesterday before it got out of the 30's and it was 32 when I checked this morning, heading for a predicted high of 54 today though! (47, 39 & 44 the next few days forecast highs, with lows dipping into the high 20's) So it looks like warm weather is coming, it's just taking its time... Have you already, or are you planning on doing any pruning on yours Don, or do you leave them alone that way? Again, just gathering up as much info as I can on growing shrubs/bushes... Thanks! |
The only pruning I've done so far is some extremely light "tidying"... almost nothing really. My hope is that they will not quite touch each other when they are mature, but if that turns out to not be the case I might help shape them. I want them to be upright cylindrical bushes, not globes or spreading bushes like a Nanking cherry. |
I'm a little hesitant to prune mine and cut off any flower buds. Since my bushes are young, I'm going to attempt to do some branch spreading and see if I can open it up a little more and increase the efficiency of ventilation and sun exposure. The current gorgeous plants I got from HBUSA are in pots and are receiving the rotate daily treatment and are loving the afternoon sun. I'll be putting them out gradually next week to see if they'll harden off and take the light before they go in the ground.With the big ones @18", the difference in growth vigor and leaf phenotype differentiation is more pronounced between CJ and CP . |
Thanks for the pruning info. On spacing, I have mine at about 12' between them one way and 14' the other, so I ought to be OK that way I think. From some accounts it sounds like CP starts out with a bit more vigor than advertized, I'm trying to convince the better half that one more cherry wouldn't hurt a thing! |
From my experience, most dwarf cherries like this get disease in our wet springs here in the PNW, so they lose the fruit and aren't worth groiwng. PLease let me know if you know otherwise. Thanks, John S PDX OR |
"From my experience, most dwarf cherries like this get disease in our wet springs here in the PNW" Yeah any cherry would be hard to grow, here in MI it can be very wet too. You have to spray, if you use copper, and other fungicides, you could grow them. Peach trees in your area are facing the same thing. Stone fruit is not easy to grow. These trees are meant for colder areas, I would at least first grow sweet cherries in your area. But I think you could grow them. Best if you're experienced at stone fruits. |

I planted 6 very small Carmine Jewels in the spring of 2011. Mid summer of 2012, I could see that some of the branches were growing a little too close together. Like Noogy, I wanted to spread some branches to open the plants instead of pruning. It worked great! Since the branches are so small and relatively close to the ground, I just used a brick and some heavy string. |
NMin, Glad to hear that's working for you. I figure that's one way around the vertical habit plus it's in-line with cultural practices that increase ventilation, light exposure and should yield great fruit. The early morning light it gets keeps the fungus down, but on high pressure situations would Immunox be a good antifungal for this? Once the fungus and bacteria is taken care of the only thing I would be concerned with is HAIL. |

Brr, Don! You sound like you might live close to where my mum grew up - Edmonton, AB. I grew up off and on in Vancouver, and when I would complain about being cold during the winter, my mum would just roll her eyes, lol! I will be very interested to see if I can get any fruit set on either my Carmine Jewel or Crimson Passion. Will update the forum as things move along. Patty S. |

I don't want to take this thread on a turn, but I need to ask Don555 about his Chester blackberries. I've wanted to grow blackberries, but I thought it was too cold here. Do you bend them to the ground and then cover with hay just before freeze up? |
Northernmn -- I've grown them for the past 4 years, 2 plants. First year - establishment. 2nd year - 1 berry the rest taken out by early frost. 3rd year - about 450 berries. 4th year (2012) - over 500 berries from one plant, the other suffered winterkill and didn't produce but the vines regrew vigorously in the summer. Yes, it is too cold, but with determination and stubborness things are sometimes possible. I bend the canes to the ground and cover. Previous years covered with leaves, last winter used straw and burlap, hoping that is more protective. Technically the upright varieties are supposed to be harder, but since you can't lay those ones flat, it is only the trailing ones that can be grown this far north IMO. If you go to the Far North Gardening section and search for blackberry you will find several threads there with much greater detail. |
- Posted by hoosierquilt z10a/23 Vista Calif (My Page) on Sat, Apr 20, 13 at 23:26
I kinda figured, Don :-) It can be wicked cold where you are in the winter, and winters can be long, but is sure is beautiful. And, very well done with your 'Chester' blackberries! I have 'Chester', and I just love the flavor of that blackberry. So far, knock on wood, the orioles have not discovered it. Patty S. |

Re: Chester Blackberries Mine are planted on a south wall, and is somewhat shaded by a small house. They do get 8 hours of sun. I cannot stop them from growing, and the canes went over 12 feet tall in the plants second year. By the books im in zone 3 (temp data shows zone 4) Re:Cherries Im experimenting with cherries here. I could not find any cherry trees of any sort here. I thought about the Romance series, and even the Carmine Jewel (which had the best reviews for taste). If i recall, most are grown in their own roots, so I dont see any reason why the US market would graft them. The U of Sask is becoming the forerunner for cold hardy fruits, and until recently seems a but under appreciated. I I ordered some Evans Cherry from alberta nurseries. 8" "rooted plugs" on their own roots. I know (thanks to Konrad) that they can have some dieback in some of the more northern climates, but I think they will thrive here. I wont know for sure until this spring (if it shows up), but the small trees have swollen buds, and no die back. Most of the U of Sask trees are made to grow in cold climates. Some of them have Mongolian cherry genes, and they can take -45C (the mongolian cherries). I can only assume they wont get the chill hours in Cali, but you do indeed never know. The next big thing coming out of Sask? Grapes! |
"If i recall, most are grown in their own roots, so I dont see any reason why the US market would graft them" To make them grow faster, time is money. Gisela 5 seems to be the preferred rootstock for commercial production. At this time it is still experimental. They might decide it is not worth it. Gisela 5 should make them bear fruit the 2nd year. I have two sweet cherries on Gisela and both had fruit the 2nd year. One is a Glacier, and I had to knock buds off it, it has way too many for such a small tree. |

Drew, I'm not sure there is any rootstock testing going on with the Romance series cherries. The big advantage of the series on their own roots in cold climates is that the tops can be winter killed and the block will regrow without replanting. Obviously this wouldn't be an advantage in warmer climates, but warmer climates would still have the advantage of suckering to fill in the planting for Romance cherries on their own roots. There may not be a lot of incentive to make them produce earlier anyway. Bush cherries seem to produce fairly early on their own roots. The developer indicated in commercial plantings (see link below) Carmine Jewel produces 2-4 lbs./plant in their third year. I am considering planting Carmine Jewel and Crimson passion and almost ordered the plants this spring but really didn't have the planting site ready. |

It doesn't hurt to test grafted bush cherries I guess, but they fruit awfully early on their own roots anyway, not to mention the other advantages mentioned above. I bought some potted mail order plants (Carmine Jewel, Cupid, Juliet, Romeo) in Spring 2011 and all of them bloomed in 2012. Not many of the blooms grew into fruit but the Cupid produced about a half-quart of ripe cherries and the Romeo had a couple that the birds beat me to. They might have all produced some ripe fruit but hail in July really damaged all the tree fruits -- I got zero apples and plums. Anyway, if mine were starting to set fruit in their second season in the ground, I don't know if a graft could be any quicker. Well, maybe that's why they test it... |
Yeah, they seem to be running trials along side non-grafted trees. So they may come to the same conclusion. It appears the main goal is to size up the tree to use this new fangled cherry picking machine. Also they have new cultivars, both tart cherry and rootstock, So they want to test all of these. I also think they are trying to decide if to use traditional tart cherries, the new Canadian examples or their secret numbered only cultivars they developed. It's been a couple years, so i expect results to come soon. |
"Well if you look at my earlier message you can read about the MSU rootstock trials yourself. Here is the link again..." Drew, I did read the first link and the others you posted. I see no indication MSU is doing rootstock trials on the Romance cherries. I see the links indicating they are doing rootstock trials on sweet cherries and Montmorency, but not on the bush cherries. They are doing rootstock trails for harvest equipment, but that seems to relate to minimizing shaker trunk damage which wouldn't have anything to do with bush cherries. They mention research on the Romance cherries, just not in conjunction with rootstocks. My guess is they are probably doing yield trials on the Romance cherries. |
You may be right, just seems strange to mention them in the article, as MSU has many cherry studies going. Most of them are not mentioned. Yes, they have a plot with just Carmine Jewel and Crimson Passion. Any tree can be grown on it's own roots. The Canadian cherries were developed to extend the range of where you can grow them. There are of course advantages and disadvantages to using rootstocks. I would not be surprised if eventually the Canadian cultivars will be on rootstocks too. I keep hearing about people growing them this way, including this site. At this time I believe they have not been around enough to determine how good their own roots are. Looks promising, but better growth, disease resistance increased with rootstocks may be obtained. Time will tell. |
" I keep hearing about people growing them this way, including this site." I imagine that's simply because the plants are expensive and/or hard to obtain, encouraging individuals to graft them themselves. Currently U. of Sac. holds the rights to propagation of these plants. They've given Garden's Alive exclusive rights of propagation in the U.S. Garden's Alive markets the plants through their subsidiaries, Gurney's and Henry Fields. The two other U.S. nurseries that sell these - St. Lawrence and Honeyberry USA get their plants from an authorized Canadian nursery (I contacted both of them earlier this spring.) None of these nurseries offer grafted plants. Your right, it is pretty early to determine how these cherries will perform in warmer climates. But until some deficiency manifests I don't think there will be a lot of pressure to try them on various rootstocks. The ability of the plants to sucker on their own roots and fill in the rows, is a pretty big deal. |
Yes, sad news about Garden's Alive. They operate on both sides of the border. Overall though the nurseries are rather mediocre. The demand for the plants is high, and the specimen's are not that impressive. I paid a little extra for a larger tree. But is is only 8 inches, and yes it is from HBUSA. No doubt it will be 6 or 7 years before this twig sees full production. All the photos posted here too are much bigger than mine, but still all are rather small trees. No farmer can afford to wait for these, and probably cannot order enough for commercial use. Distribution is terrible! Compared to the sweet cherry I got an almost 5 ft tall tree and on Gisela will be producing next year. In it's 3rd year I'll probably get hundreds of cherries. Don666 has a decent tree, and it did produce early, but they are not selling anything near that size. And if I wanted 100 of them, I bet I could not get them. The distribution sucks! Garden's Alive so far has not even offered cupid and the other romance series trees. I'm not sure what they are waiting for? On suckers ,early reports are they really do not sucker that much. Anybody here have any suckers? Yeah I had some bare root raspberries come in at the same time, and they look giant compared to the Carmine Jewel. So olpea, you could keep it in a 1/2 gallon pot all summer and plant in the fall, if you're area is not ready yet. I would, don't expect to be harvesting huge crops anytime soon! Well i hope MSU is doing something radical with the trees, as so far for commercial use, these trees are not impressive. I'm very curious about the MSU cultivars too, their MSU Kiwi, and The Liberty blueberry are rather impressive offerings from MSU. |

If you're ordering from HBUSA get the big plant size. The CJ and CP's I ordered were 18-20" and have exploded in the past 3 weeks and are over 2'. There were big roots on them. I have them receiving AM and PM light. They also shipped out big Indigo gem honeyberry plants. |
" If you're ordering from HBUSA get the big plant size" I did, $22.00 it was 8 inches! I guess they ran out of bigger ones, but no refund has followed Same with CP. I paid them over $100.00 dollars for 4 plants that added up to 24 inches of plants! Total ripoff. I did tell them I would take the smaller plants if they no longer had the larger size, but expected a refund. That has not happened.Buyer beware. |
Me, too. The sticks just arrived a moment ago in a US postal box. I thought it was something else. They are in a 2.5"x 2.5" pot. I ordered the bigger size (a 12"-20" size). Paid $18 for CJ and $21 for CP. CJ is at 14" tall and CP is 12" tall (more expensive and at the shortest height of that price range). I guess if people can wait a few years for some other nurseries in the US to have authorization to sell real bushes, you should. You probably will get bigger bushes and can catch up with us (or be ahead of us) since we start by growing these pencils. |

Stutter/Lag when playing games and mouse cursor
Figured this is where this question belongs. I am having stuttering Issues while playing any game, occasionally my mouse does this laggy thing on the desktop but rarely, but when in game about 5 minutes into it the game starts acting like im having lag spikes, but it does it when playing non online games as well. Mainly Metro 2033 (most noticeable when a bomb goes off) and Counter Strike GO after 5 minutes or so.
When I originally had this problem I had used a program called ToolWiz which I would not recommend, it changes way to much and deleted things from windows. In any Case I reformatted my computer hoping it would solve the problem...It did not. System Specs are as follows: CPU: Phenom II x6 1090T MOBO: GA-970-UD3 RAM: Corsair CMZ16GX3M4A1600C9 4x4GB. Running at 1600Mhz . 1.55 volts GPU: Gigabyte HD Radeon 7870 2GB Ghz Edition PSU: Corsair something or other 700W HArdDrive: Kingston Hyper X 3K 240GB SSD Have a Hyper 212 on the CPU 4 great case fans. Idles temps are CPU: 29c 39c under load.... GPU 30c 47c under load I used FRAPS when in CS GO to check FPS and normal I get about 120fps, WHen the glitching stuff started the fps never went below 90fps, so given for changes in enviroment, I would say FPS isnt an issue. All drivers are updated. Going to run Memtest tonight, but doubt that I will see any issues. ______________________update__________________________ Okay so quick update. Im trying to get Memtest to boot from disc, but cant seem to get it to load at start up, (had similar problem when I installed fresh OS, had to do it inside OS) But was looking through BIOS settings, and saw some things that somehow got changed, switched it back into Ganged mode, and set Voltage on DRAM to 1.55 from 1.51. Didnt have an issue before with it this low but we will see, still trying to figure out how to get that darn memtest disc to load. |

Late Inning Rallies Defeat Tribe
Louisville Batts 5, Indianapolis Indians 2
[ box ]
The Indianapolis Indians and Louisville Bats played 6.5 scoreless innings at Louisville Slugger Field, before each team scored in its last two at-bats. The Bats' first rally was sparked by their winning pitcher Daryl Thompson, and the second rally, in the bottom of the 8th, was aided by 3 Indians' errors. The Tribe was not able to catch up, and the Bats took the first game of this 4-game away-and-home series.
Justin Wilson (photo) made the start for the Indians, coming off a tough start last Saturday in Toledo. He got through the first two innings rather quickly, allowing just one hit, a double by Bats' 1B Todd Frazier in the 2nd. Wilson worked his way out of a bases-loaded jam in the 3rd. 3B Michael Griffin reached base when his Tribe counterpart 3B Pedro Alvarez bobbled his grounder for an error. After two outs, 2B Chris Valaika grounded to short, where SS Jordy Mercer also had trouble with bobbles on the scoop. Valaika reached base ahead of Mercer's throw, and the play was ruled a single. LF Yonder Alonso walked to load the bases. Wilson bore down and got C Devin Mesoraco to fly out to RF Anthony Norman, to escape the inning without a run scoring.
Wilson worked around a single by Frazier in the 4th inning, then got into another jam in the 5th. He walked the opposing pitcher Thompson, and hit Valaika with a pitch. With two outs, Mesoraco hit a screaming liner right back at Wilson. The ball hit Wilson's glove and dropped, but Wilson was so surprised that it took him a moment to realize that the ball had been stopped and had not sailed into the outfield. Then he looked up, thinking that maybe the ball was still in the air, then finally looked down — and still took a moment to realize that the ball was at his feet. Mesoraco was safe on first, and the bases were loaded, but Wilson had kept the ball from going into the outfield and allowing at least 2 runs to score. He ended the inning with a ground out by RF Jeremy Hermida, leaving the bases full of Bats for the second time in the game.
That was all for Wilson, on a hot and humid night. He had thrown 97 pitches (57 strikes), and thrown 5 scoreless innings, allowing 4 hits and 2 walks, with 5 strikeouts. Wilson was relieved by former Bat (just a couple of weeks ago) Steven Jackson, who retired his old teammates in order in the 6th.
Owens Strikes Out 8 In Tribe Loss
Watching from the dugout: Pedro Alvarez, Tom Filer, Dusty Brown, Jordy Mercer, Kris Watts
Toledo Mud Hens 5, Indianapolis Indians 1
[ box ]
The Indianapolis Indians must have used up too many of the hits in their bats in yesterday's 10-4 win, because today they were back to scoring just one run, as they did in the two previous games against the Toledo Mud Hens. Tonight at Victory Field, the Tribe posted just 4 hits on their way to their lone run, while the Mud Hens stacked up 12 hits and 5 runs.
Rudy Owens (photo) struck out a season-high 8 batters in his start for the Tribe, but he also gave up 8 hits and could not get through the 5th inning. He was charged with his 6th loss of the season, giving him a 6-6 record.
The game began with LF Will Rhymes lining a double into right field for a double. Owens struck out the next two batters, 3B Danny Worth and rehabbing 2B Carlos Guillen. DH Ryan Strieby lined a single into left field, and Rhymes raced around to score from second base. Owens struck out former Indy Indian CF Jeff Salazar to end the inning, then began the 2nd by striking out 1B Scott Thorman. RF Ben Guez doubled into center field with one out in the 2nd, but a fly out and another strikeout left Guez on base.
(Photo: Pitching coach Tom Filer, Rudy Owens, Dusty Brown, Corey Wimberly)
Owens also worked around a one-out hit by Worth in the 3rd — a bloopy hit that fell into no-man's land behind first base, out of reach of Tribe RF Miles Durham, 1B Matt Hague, and 2B Corey Wimberly. Salazar struck out again to lead off the 4th inning. Thorman singled into right field, then with two strikes on Guez, Thorman took off to try to steal second base. Guez swung and missed on strike three, and as he finished his swing, he stumbled a bit, causing his bat to come around and hit C Dusty Brown. Brown was in the middle of throwing to second base as he was hit by the bat, and it caused his throw to go off-target. Guez was out on the strikeout, and since he was already out, the penalty for the batter interference ruling was that the base runner Thorman was also called out at second base.
Bowker's Clutch RBI Gives Indians Extra-Inning Win
Indianapolis Indians 4, Toledo Mud Hens 3
[ box ]
After 5 scoreless innings with a tie score, the Indians pushed across a run in the top of the 12th, then held on for the win over the Mud Hens at Fifth-Third Field in Toledo, Ohio.
With two outs in the top of the 12th, 2B/3B Brian Friday worked a walk. LF John Bowker (photo) lashed a double into the right-center field alley, over the head of Toledo RF Ben Guez, and off the wall. Friday was off and running with the pitch, and he rounded third and headed for the plate as Guez chased down the ball. He crossed the plate well ahead of the throw, scoring the go-ahead run for the Indians.
The Mud Hens jumped right on Tribe starter Justin Wilson in the bottom of the 1st inning. Lead-off batter DH Will Rhymes with a single, and LF Timo Perez doubled, putting runners on the corners. Rhymes scored on an RBI single into right field by rehabbing 2B Carlos Guillen, and Perez came in on an RBI single by 1B Ryan Strieby, for a 2-0 lead. Strieby stole second base and 3B Danny Worth walked. Wilson got out of the inning when he struck out RF Scott Thorman, and C Kris Watts fired down to third base, throwing out Strieby trying to steal third. SS Cale Iorg added a run in the 2nd inning on a solo homer, giving the Mud Hens a 3-0 lead.
Wilson went on to pitch 4 more innings, scattering 3 more singles (by Rhymes, Iorg, and Strieby) and two walks (Guillen and Strieby), but he did not allow another run. He threw 91 pitches, with 52 strikes.
All-Star Hague Delivers Win For Indians
Indianapolis Indians 3, Syracuse Chiefs 0
[ box ]
Thursday was a very good day for Indianapolis Indians' 1B Matt Hague (photo). He was named to the International League's All-Star Team in the morning, then led his team to a victory over the Chiefs at Alliance Bank Park in Syracuse, NY in the evening.
This won't be Hague's first All-Star Game — he participated in the 2010 Eastern League All-Star Game. He is the Indians' only player on this year's IL All-Star Team, though Tribe manager Dean Treanor will be serving the IL as a bench coach. The Louisville Bats have 3 position players in the IL's starting line-up, plus one reserve player. The Durham Bulls have 2 position players among the starters, plus one reserve player. Lehigh Valley and Columbus both have 2 pitchers named to the team. Former Indy Indian C Erik Kratz, now with Lehigh Valley, has been named to the IL All-Star team for the third season in a row. In his first AAA All-Star Game, Kratz was named the most valuable player, and in last season's game, he was notified of his major league call-up in the middle of the game and his astonished response was on national television. There will be a familiar face on the Pacific Coast League's All-Star Team — LHP Dana Eveland, who pitched for the Indians and the Pirates will be represeting the Albuquerque Isotopes (Dodgers).
Hague continued his day with a 3-for-3 night at the plate, including a double, and he was responsible for driving in 2 of the Indians' 3 runs. C Kris Watts also had a fine night, with a pair of doubles. Pitchers Garrett Olson and Steven Jackson combined for a 2-hit shutout.
PawSox Early And Late Rallies Crush Tribe
Brad Lincoln made the start for the Indians, and was charged with his 7th loss.
Pawtucket Red Sox 12, Indianapolis Indians 3
[ box ]
Two big innings by the Pawtucket gave the Red Sox plenty of in-game fireworks to warm up the crowd for the post-game fireworks at Victory Field tonight. The PawSox scored 4 runs in the 2nd and 5 runs in the 8th, and their total of 12 runs came on just 10 hits.
Indians' starter Brad Lincoln mowed down the first five batters he faced, striking out three of them. But with two outs in the top of the 2nd, Lincoln suddenly got into trouble. DH Ryan Lavarnway ripped a double into the right-center field gap for a double. RF Nate Spears lined a single into center field, which CF Gorkys Hernandez fired back to the plate, as Lavarnway rounded third and headed for the plate. The throw was on-target and on-time, but C Eric Fryer couldn't keep hold of it as he went to make the tag. The ball dropped to the ground, and Lavarnway slid across the plate safely. Lincoln walked C Luis Expositon on four pitches, then 2B Brent Dlugach rocketed a double over RF Alex Presley's head and off the top of the right field wall. That brought in Spears, but Presley's strong throw in from right made Exposition hold up at third. With both runners in scoring position, CF Che-Hsuan Lin blooped a single into short center field, which dropped in between three Tribe fielders, brining in both Exposito and Dlugach, for a 4-0 lead.
Hernandez (photo) came through with a clutch double to help the Indians cut the PawSox lead in half in the bottom of the inning. With one out, 3B Josh Harrison, just back from Pittsburgh, took a 4-pitch walk from Pawtucket starter Kyle Weiland. Fryer grounded out, then 2B Josh Rodriguez also walked. Hernandez followed with a double off the top of the wall in the right-center field gap, and both Joshes raced around to score. The rally ended when Presley popped out to second, leaving Hernandez stranded, but the Tribe had made progress: 4-2.

The Darby Translation (DBY) | New International Version (NIV) |
18 And I, behold, I appoint thee this day as a strong city, and an iron pillar, and brazen walls, against the whole land; against the kings of Judah, against its princes, against its priests, and against the people of the land. | 18 Today I have made you a fortified city, an iron pillar and a bronze wall to stand against the whole land--against the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests and the people of the land. |
