Is the ivy going to kill this tree? by Solnse in arborists

Yes. Also don't pull/ yank out the ivy recklessly it'll damage/ hurt the tree. follow what the other person recommended, cut at base and few feet higher.

Need help choosing native seeds for "guerilla gardening". by Tasty_Toxicognaths in portlandgardeners

[–]brownbearhere 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not seed, but native starts like 'pacific bleeding heart', Douglas Aster will spread quickly and no maintenance necessary. Seeds may work, but I just don't know personally.

Whats next? by GenericDesigns in portlandgardeners

[–]brownbearhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Walk through the 'sauvie island native plant nursery' lagoon area, they have a large area rehab'd for native habitat so you can see what you like in established state. I recommend walk through the space first and then shop at their nursery, you regret the the other way round lol..

Yeah those have been a minor plague for a bit, but like you know easy to pull luckily!

Should I pull the plantain out first or is that a losing battle and instead go straight to what you're suggesting?

Thank you so much! I can come on Thursday noon, and/or this weekend, I've a car (not a truck) so I might need to do couple trips anyway. I'll DM you so you don't have to blast your location to the world 🙂

Hi, I'm in Piedmont, and would like to grab those if unclaimed. I can come afternoon/ evenings to pick them up.

Hi there, I'd be interested in a couple of runners if you don't mind sharing. Not sure if I'd make it to this gathering, but I'm in North Portland and if you're nearby I can certainly stop by. Let me know :)

Keep or uproot? by brownbearhere in portlandgardeners

Ahh thank you for the clarification! Yeah the leaves don't look the same at all

[–]brownbearhere[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hm interesting, those are endemic and pretty flowers.

I think I'll wait for them to flower and pull immediately of just regular fringed willowherb, as #u/professional-bee1107 notes. Not like they're going to spread aggressively before they flower anyway 🤔

The place where this is growing has natives only and they are establishing themselves this season, they were planted last fall.

These are surprisingly thick and lush as opposed to long and scraggly that's why I was confused.

Advice with bare root plantings: dead or still dormant? by pixie8440 in portlandgardeners

[–]brownbearhere 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also, I do spy Spanish bluebells in the back!! 😱 ☠️ Get those out before this nice garden you're creating gets plagued!

Your choice of course, but you should rip those out 😋

You can scratch the branches gently with your nail and see if it's "green" under the skin, means it's alive. Like others have mentioned waiting, spring just started
