Question from James: Do you know of any colorful trees that can withstand South Carolina heat? Answer from Pat: I’m with you! If you’re going to plant a tree, why not have a colorful one? But the limiting factor is not the heat of South Carolina in summer, it’s the cold you might get in […]

Question from Gail: Hi Pat, I enjoy your books and website very much–what a wealth of information and inspiration! My question is about Agonis flexuosa. I’ve planted three of the ‘After Dark’ dark foliaged trees in full sun (Sunset 23) from 3 gallon containers. They are now about 12′ tall. They’re becoming beautiful small trees, […]
