Can BH be planted on the shady side under a Cedar tree? Do any of you have info on this? We have recently redone our yard and until shrubs, trees grow up we have no shade. On the south side of the house is a Cedar tree of which the north side gets afternoon shade/morning sun.
Thank you for any help you can provide.

mammabear,

Welcome to Gardenhelper..........stay long, and write often.


Now Bleeding hearts......Answer is yes.....I have them on the northside of my house and the west side........Both work wonders.

Being your in hot climate.. I say give it a try under the tree.......Nothing to loose.

Thank you, Dodge. I wasn't sure if the sap from the tree would hurt the plants. The tree branches are not close to the ground. I had about come to the same conclusion-try
it & see.

Do you know anything about Tulip trees?

Hi Mommabear!

I have my bleeding hearts planted under trees and I don't know why the sap from Cedar tree would be any different the sap from any other tree! I don't have any trouble with mine being planted under the trees.

I have a tulip tree in my yard about 70 ft tall.
Tulip Poplar tree.......It is blooming. Almost done now.. I keep it for lightening rods.. It mus go soon ..Old

always wanted one of them

The leaves on one of the Tulip trees has turned brown & brittle-probably dying. There are new leaves forming that look great. How old is your tree? Mine is no more than a yr old & right now planted in a while molasses barrel as the permanent site is not ready & won't be until spring. The other tulip tree has no brown leaves, looks great but it is watered differently. Mostly on the ground where the other one was under a sprinkler & I read that can be a cause-Thanks for all your info.

can anyone tell me if a washington palm tree can be grown in a pot inside ,ive seen it can reach to 60 ft.

jbaby

I dont know the answer.But I see no reason why you cant, when it reaches the roof drag it outside..........In georgia, why put it inside?/
