We have our last work session in the Monroe Extension Demo gardens coming up October 9 from 2 to 4pm and I’m hoping something in BOLD AND LARGE can be put on the Blog reminding our Hort Club members to please mark their calendars – that this is the last work session of 2023 and we sure could use some extra help getting the gardens put to bed for the season!
Seven Son Tree
Posted in Uncategorized on October 6, 2023| 1 Comment »
Sent me photos of her Seven Son shrub / tree, Heptacodium miconioides, Zone 5. She bought it last October at North Branch nursery in Pemberville, Ohio. It’s done well.
These photos of hers that have now turned color.
The flower blooms begin white in July-August and later turns to a red with golden yellow foliage in fall. It also has exfoliating tan bark that exposes a cinnamon-colored inner bark. As a tree it can grow up to 15-25 feet and will have a spread of 8-15 feet. It’s a member of the Honeysuckle family.
Jennie has often spoken about this tree, that provides a habitat to birds along with the flowers supplying nectar for pollinators.
