I like how you arranged them, Tarev. It looks nice and natural!
sorry to hear you lost some of your other ones! I hope they grow back. What kind were they that burned? We can still see the smoke here too, the entire horizon has been dark pink for days now.
I have to agree, Greg. They grow much better here during the cool weather in spring than in summer for the most part (like everything else save cacti and natives lol would that everything grew as easily as the tumbleweeds do!). I do think it is hit and miss though, in the past I have had some burn with just a few hours of afternoon summer sun whilst others grow actively all year until they go dormant in winter. In my experience it seems to be an individual thing as far as heat tolerance goes, although without exception they despise being in full sun in summer. Right now all the different types of tectorum I have are growing vigorously, and I had read somewhere once that tectorums were the most heat-sensitive of them all! I think my regular ol' tectorum would try and take over my yard given half a chance (if I can just get out of this pot...)
