Wait a minute...are those the unidentified ones you photographed a couple of weeks back? The three? Well done! :hurray:
The yellow ones over here are always High Noon, but there are few sources of tree peonies for the island.
I got most of my trees from garden centres nearby. The two I mail ordered did not/are not doing as well. Let me show the difference.
Hanakisoi mail-order as it is now:
Hanakisoi from nearby green grocer:
The other mail order tree is almost a fail. It got some fungus and almost died completely, but I cut off the bad bits and it has new, weak growth. I hope it's not the nurse root that's sprouting!
Because of this, I'm not keen on mail ordering trees. Plus, we don't have the options available in the states so usually what I find nearby is the extent I find through mail order. I am lucky that garden centres here almost always carry peonies including trees. I have to island hop to go to another nursery that carries the more exotic kinds, like Ten-I. He's the only nursery I know in Canada that sells it!
