Why are the best bunches just before winter?
Monster tall namwa (for my area anyway). Has a pup on each side I need to remove.
Just in time to be frozen. It's a good 17' and huge at the base. Sz 14 shoe for reference.

You are gonna need some heavy duty equipment to move those 'pups'! Amazing!

Re: Why are the best bunches just before winter?
Such a shame. At least they are Namwah, I don't like those anyway...
Maybe the cold will wait this year... or stay away all together.

Re: Why are the best bunches just before winter?
Maybe you can skate by without a heavy frost this year. Fingers crossed. Good luck!

Re: Why are the best bunches just before winter?
Damn, SON!!! That's a monster!!!!
Tytaylor, I've been having the same issue. During the summer, only 2 flowers bloomed when the hope was that they'd all bloom at that time...., and now when there's some threat of frost in the near future, 4 of them decided to open. Last edited by meizzwang : 12-08-2016 at 02:28 PM. |
