Default Re: My brand new "tropical" planter

Hi Tommy,
Now you are telling me, after I have already surgically removed a couple of severely singed
leaves from the Golden Photos

…and after I have been looking high and low for something to keep the north side of our house green.

But thank you very much for a most instructive post!

You may be interested to know, that so far the most successful specimen to grace that darkest
spot in our yard is a Nanking Cherry (Prunus Tomentosa), which originates in a mountain range
in China with high UV exposure. - Go figure

Please help identify this shrub

Thanks again for you post, which I will file away. It justifies the reason, why I joined ‘bananas’:
To learn!

Olaf
