Deer tend to leave honeylocusts alone and they are highly adaptable, tolerant, and reliable. Climbing to a mature height of 35 feet and spread of 30 feet, 'Imperial' is one of the most compact of the honeylocusts. It is cold hardy to USDA Hardiness zone 4.-7. For best growth, plant in full sun and well-drained soil, although it is extremely adaptable to soil conditions and can even tolerate standing water for a very brief exposure to it. It is very adaptable to both dry and moist locations and is not particular as to soil type or pH, even able to handle environmental salt. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments. Very tolerant of adverse growing conditions. Prune in spring to remove small shoots along the trunk, suckers, water sprouts and competing branches. Prune out dead, diseased or broken branches any time. It has a high canopy with a typical clearance of 7 feet from the ground, and should not be planted underneath power lines. As it matures, the lower branches of this tree can be strategically removed to create a high enough canopy to support unobstructed human traffic underneath.

< Back Strawberry, Everbearing - 'Quinalt' Strawberry Nothing compares to the mouthwatering flavor of home-grown strawberries. 'Quinault' is a heavy producer of large, very sweet fruit. Use it in jams, preserves, tarts, and pies. Can be grown in ground, containers, and hydroponically. Hardy in USDA Zones 4A-8B with a height of 6-8 inches and a spread of 3 feet. Requires more than 6 hours of daily sun and light to medium moisture. Plant strawberries in early spring. Water them often through July. Remove flowers the first year and fertilize and water regularly. Do not plant them where tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, eggplant, or okra were planted the previous year. There is a disease that sometimes attacks these plants that will also attack strawberries. When planting, make sure that the roots are spread apart, and not tightly packed in a small hole. The plant will spread faster if the blossoms are removed so that more runners can be produced. The second year, allow the buds to stay so that fruit can be produced. Because strawberries have shallow roots, they should be fertilized during the growing season. Previous Next

< Back Pear - 'Summercrisp' Pear Tree Very good for colder areas, 'Summercrisp' is an early maturing pear introduced by the University of Minnesota for use in colder climates, where most other pear varieties survive poorly and often do not produce fruit.
