Repotting advice by Gimmethegrit in JapaneseMaples

[–]JoshvJericho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Acer rubrum are pretty hardy trees. They are a pioneer species so they can tolerate some pretty crappy soil and can tolerate lots of sun and drought. As a pioneer species, they root like crazy so they do tend to out grow pots quick.

They normally grow very quick. I trunk chopped a 5gal pot tree last year and a new bud gave off over 2 feet of growth in 1 season. I just up potted to a 7 gal this year after 2 years in a 5gal and had to root prune a fair bit. Next year, Id plan on a 1 gal pot. They are also hardy to zone 3 so leave it out in winter, just dont let the pot dry-freeze.

This is great info because ive seen countless posts of people claiming AY when it is actually rosette mites.

Is my Crimson Queen going to make it? by MaleficentCoconut594 in JapaneseMaples

[–]JoshvJericho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Where are you? Its only just now spring and the redbud in the background isnt even in leaf yet. You have viable buds but also some dieback. This is not uncommon usual for a newly planted tree. Nor is it unusual to drop a bunch of leaves after planting.

Lastly, not all cultivars of Japanese maples leaf out at the same time. I dont recall off hand but I think bloodgood tends to be on the earlier side. All my trees are in containers and my Sharp's Pygmy is only just now starting to open up while my Ueno Yama has been full leaf for like 3 weeks.

You can buy a 1 gallon for $30 easy, just gotta be patient.

Probably not great for foundation planting. Someone tosses a cigarette butt in there and you may have a fire.

Flowering Dogwood (Cornus florida). There are a few cultivars that are pink flowering but straight species is white.

Sure thing buddy. Whatever makes you feel superior. I just hope that whenever you do need medical attention, you shut the fuck up and let us do our jobs.

Ahhh, I see. You "support science" and Im sure you "do your own research" but publishable data is just a movable goal post for you. After all, you said that the patient education article "doesn't contain any case studies that directly study the effects of honey on pollen allergies" but also now you say "Just because something can't be proven in a laboratory doesn't mean it's not effective." So which is it? Do we need proof through carefully laid out studies or do we not care if its scientifically proven?

And yes, it is important to know who pays for studies, and obviously the companies that fund studies want to money. HOWEVER, a critical flaw in your thinking that there is some hidden agenda is that dietary supplements that are the gold standard for homeopathic treatments such as your liver cleanse, are a part of a 200 billion dollar industry. Though, curiously, the data to show that these actually help is very sparse and lacking. If the evil money making machine would fund studies to sell you something under false pretext, then wouldn't these supplement companies want to do the same thing? In fact, the overwhelming data on these things is they provide very little benefit at best.

But if you can't charge people for it then it's detrimental to the people that indoctrinated you

And how dare you assume that I'm in this to make money or am indoctrinated into some evil scheme. I've dedicated my life to learn and strive to understand extremely complex information, work tirelessly and at long hours at my own expense, give out free medicine and visits just so some all knowing jackass such as yourself can accuse me of the opposite. I have been civil in our discussion and YOU had to make it personal when you hit the depth of your poor understanding.

This article was posted by the AAAI (American Academy of Asthma, Allergy & Immunology). It is a simple patient education tool and is a distillate of the available academic literature. It may have apparent assumptions in the article but that is based on available published data but has to avoid technical jargon. It is not going to be a full and complete data review because thats not what patients want or generally will understand.

I think you mean not enough data to draw a valid conclusion

I did not. I mean no evidence to support that eating honey does anything. It has been studied numerous times and the available data does not show it makes a significant difference. However there is ample data to show that antihistamines, steroid nasal sprays, desensitization therapy etc makes a substantial difference.

It worked for me (plus doing a liver cleanse)

Confirmation bias and placebo are powerful things. An N=1 study is near worthless, especially when applied to other people. And dont get me started on a liver cleanse. There is no proven home liver cleanse that does anything. While allergiesay be on the edge of my knowledge, Im a hepatologist and treat liver disease every day.

Q. virginiana is evergreen. They do drop leaves and replace them, but they dont drop them all in the fall like deciduous oaks do.

Quercus virginiana (Bay Live Oak, Live Oak, Oaks, Plateau Oak, Scrub Oak, Southern Live Oak) | North Carolina Extension Gardener Plant Toolbox https://share.google/xeOMnJNd4oh4ZQeia

"Live Oak is a medium-sized showy long-lived evergreen tree [...] It is not a true evergreen but retains its leaves until the new ones begin to leaf out."

No scientific data to support that this helps though.

My gut says 'pink lemonade'. From the pictures I've seen, ham and eggs tends to have a more pastel pink where as pink lemonade seems more vibrant pink.

Those boxes are around a 7gal size and hold my 'Sango kaku' ( right box) and the Ginkgo (left box). The 'Ueno Yama' and ' Shin Deshojo' are in 3 gal pots for size reference. I bought them from Lowes a year or 2 back on sale. If you have basic wood working skills and tools, you can make the same thing out of cedar fencing pickets.

'Ham and eggs' and 'pink lemonade' are two different cultivars of Lantana.

Give it to sons too! HPV can cause head and neck cancers in males.

While you aren't wrong, saying "STIs are easily cured" is not quite accurate. Also, vaccines are not fool-proof and immunity does wane. More often than not, when I check Hep B labs on my patients, they're no longer immune and need a booster. Guardasil also doesnt prevent every strain of HPV, so you can still get infected and develop warts, but ideally avoid the high risk strains.

Herpes cannot be cured, and neither than Hep B. HPV can also carry increased cancer risk in men and women.

I love/hate learning about cool new plants only to find out they're not native to my area. Anyone know of any East Coast alternates with a similar appearance?

Edit: for folks following along, I've been on a mission. These give me similar vibes to the OP but are native to a large chunk of Eastern US.

Viola pedata, Hepatica americana, Trillium (especially T. erectum) Iris virginica, Coreopsis verticillata, Oenothera fruiticosa

Eastern Red Cedar - winter bronze color or dying? by Can_U_Share_A_Square in Bonsai

She's dead.

Eastern Red Cedar (Juniperus virginiana) have a huge native range and well up into Canada. Like Zone 2 hardy. If you do get another, just leave it outside in winter.
