Reading
Enjoyed a skim-read of Restoring American Gardens and delighted to learn that George Washington knew smoke bush (Cotinus coggygria) - its entry is on page 113 of the encyclopedia section of this book. I must have trimmed mine just right last year: it set lots of blooms! It surprised me that deutzia was introduced in 1840. The author cites a Victorian source that observed that it "may be sheared into a perfect globe." That's an approach I hadn't considered. Meanwhile, I still worry about what the 2-feet-from-ground whacking the tree company gave them will do. The limelight hydrangeas seem to be filling in happily.
