I also think sap. I have seen what your talking about on a peach tree and it was sap. I think perhaps the ridges are just the 'squeezed through the bark, ring marks'
Hey theres always a FIRST so you try it out and let us know how it works. Perhaps you'll devise a new even better/easier way for us all.
Personally I don't care if the chickens scratch and scatter indiscriminately...hehehe
Yep weed-and it's hard to get all the spreading suckering roots when you pull it-ugh! I'd HATE to have that in my garden. I have it in my rose bed and it sux!
A friend gave me some castor beans and told me to soak them about 24 hours before planting them. I did and they swelled up about to burst with water.
Ithen planted them and it was just a few days it seems until they sprouted-but realistically, it was more like 14 days. Somewhere between 10-14...
WOW everybody.
Pat's right there are several types of sumac and not all are poisonious. I've researched the different ones and thought I'd just see what was offered. I was hoping for staghorn and possible rubias glarbuius (spelled terriblly) but any kind would have been appreciated.
I have...
I want SUMAC, please!
Here is why-I was recently at a master garden function and overheard a couple fellow MGs going on and on about this plant they were looking at. As I passed by I said 'omg that's Sumac, I grew up with that stuff growing in the ditches-it a weed AND it's poisonious'
Tact is...
I ordered from Burgess, and waited and waited and got nothing. So I contacted them and was told my order was canceled because of overwhelming response for the offer. I asked them to offer me another deal then and they refused saying my credit card wasn't charged so nothing owed.
I was bummed out...
BYC 1 & 2 before I found this site. Kind of hard to miss it, being at the top of the page, and all.
I love it and find myself spending more and more time over here.
Hi, I do not have an enclosed run, I freerange my flock. But I do have my compost near my coop and my chickens do exactly as you'd think. They help the pile immensely-imo
I know they eat some of the pile-but it's a even trade as far as I'm concerned.
I say-go for it.
I want one because I grew up visiting my grandma in TN and she had one in her yard-my brother and I used to climb. It's a nostalgic thing for me. She also had a huge holly tree, I'd love to have-but not hardy in my zone 5. But the mimosa-I will baby and HAVE!
