Poink88's Ilkex Vomitoria (Yaupon Holly)

[fore]

Oh, I read this: This is my problem with sidewalk pick up trees (vs. personally collected/dug), they have very high mortality rate. But there is very little labor involved to I still take them whenever I find one.

Was it just those three that was a sidewalk trees then? Well then, I need to congrat. you on finding this material, and making the effort to dig them up in the hot tx summer! (lived in tx for over 20 yrs) I do hope they make it!

These are more than a year old now so chances are they will make it unless I mess them up big time.

Out of these 7...
3 was sidewalk pick-up, 4 were dug,
6 survived, 1 died.

In general (excluding pick-up trees), my current survival rate is 87.5% and that is year round collection (not always optimal conditions). Not by choice, but because that is when the trees are available.

You now know how that goes.

Who can argue with those stats? Congrats Dario!
