Daily News for Thursday, March 21, 2024
Heritage Forsythia and Lilac bushes for free By Joyce Coomer I have been attempting -- emphasis on "attempting" -- to eradicate honeysuckle from flowers around the yard. I know, useless to even attempt such a thing in this neck of the woods. In the process of pulling honeysuckle out of the forsythia and lilac bushes, I have found that instead of the original four forsythia I had, there are now around eight or nine -- which I don't need. Ditto for the lilac bushes. The forsythias are from the home of my parents, Buford and Etwol Evans of Pellyton. Knowing how long they lived on the farm where I grew up, and that one of the elderly ladies in the neighborhood had given Momma forsythia sprouts from her forsythia, I estimate the original plantings would be more than one hundred years old. And these forsythia are nearly indestructible . . . heat nor drought nor cold nor extreme pruning (nearly to the ground) affects their ability to grow. The lilacs are from the Pettit's Fork Creek home of Greg's parents, Rollen and Myrna Coomer. She was pulling up sprouts and throwing them away and I salvaged some. I've had the plants since 1979, and while I've not taken very good care of them, they hang in there. I assume the lilacs were at the house when they bought it so the original plantings on the lilacs would possibly be at least sixty years old. Anyone who would like one (or all) of the excess plants is welcome to them. I will warn you -- bring a strong young man to do the digging as the soil here is hard and extremely rocky. Call me at 270-250-4541 if you would like to have heritage flowering shrubs. 2024-03-21 15:50:04 | Comments | Printable version
