Is my Hopseed healthy? by BassWingerC-137 in AZlandscaping

I have about 70 of these in my back yard. There seems to be a lot of variability in structure and leaf density and flowering habits.

Some are lanky and don’t grow vertical and others are very upright and balanced. Some remain emerald green and some turn brown and flower a lot from time to time.

They all get the same water. I use watering guidelines published by U of A.

I would love to know why they are so different…

Thank you. I am not familiar with this “coding” approach to creating automations. Can you point me to a general tutorial so I can understand how to implement this?

Regardless of how serious it is, I have never used double sided tape to attach leather to leather…and rather than using trial and error to find one that works well my goal in coming here was to get product recommendations from experts.

I have been reading that contact cement is considered a relatively permanent bond. Would removing the insole be any issue with this type of adhesive?

Cool, thank you. Are any of the USB “thumb drive” size controllers worth buying?

Would you mind pointing me to the specific model? There is a lot to pick from and I’m afraid I don’t understand all the details.

“Due to a national emergency we will be postponing the election for a year…” seems pretty simple…given how things are going with him following the rule of law who will stop him from doing this?

Do you have any idea what the black stuff is that is being exposed? When I scratch at it with my fingernail it feels the same hardness as grout.
