like the guy before me stated.. try only growing dwarf varieties.. my climate is not a whole lot different from yours. youre colder in the winter and you probably get snow more frequently. the growing season starts a little later and ends a little sooner and thats probably the real major difference. again im probably wrong on that too  |
Well I was really disapointed at first as I was really counting on forcing a bloom but I'm getting excited about keeping a couple dwarfs in pots each year and waiting.
After living in Dahlonega for about 4 years I know there's a big difference from about Alpheretta on down! I used to be so envious being so close to one zone up. LOL I'm still mostly in a zone 7 now even though I'm 5 hours north as we're in this little pocket but most zone maps show me as a zone 6. We've got the big southern magnolia trees all over in our area and I hold onto that as a good thing!
