| I picked one up at a Ct.nursery last week; green/wh/pk splashed shiny quince-like leaves. The nursery is z.5b and the owner told me i'd have no trouble growing it. I've posted this query in Shrubs and Perennials but no one has responded. I know you lucky dog PNWers grow so many things that we cannot in new eng>> do any of you grow this and have you heard anyth about it being z.5 hardy(even though that would not be a concern for you, i know.)?

| I had one Stranvaesia davidiana. It resembled Photinia in a vague way. I kept my tree small. It can reseed prolifically. I think it is considered invasive. It seems to like a sunny place in poor soil with good drainage to maintain good form. I know nothing about the variety, 'Palette'. Is it a form of undulata that grows more like a shrub instead of a tree? We had a warm winter and our spring has been cooler than normal. Our summer starts just after the 4th of July. |
