Thanks so much for that response.
The last paragraph is especially helpful to me. I had almost decided from what I was reading that I should avoid dormants, but I do have a few already and they seemed to me to be doing fine. So much of the literature makes it sound as if northern gardeners should not grow Evergreens and southern gardeners should not fool with dormants.
So the more I learn about things the less I know it appears, gardening is such an exact science...
