I also have Sugar Tyme, and White Angel. They're all white-flowering, I love them. They're pretty, quite disease-resistant, and all have persistent fruit over the winter.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for you comment. -YvonneYvonnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03098282222368869353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27959268.post-56315826666495360992008-05-31T15:11:00.000-04:002008-05-31T15:11:00.000-04:00You have really created an amazing place- a garden...You have really created an amazing place- a gardened place!

Of course, it keeps coming back in the tree line between us and the neighbors - that area the Brits call a hedgerow. But it's easy to control in the garden: you just pull it out when it's a little sprout. Here's a link about buckthorn: Yvonnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03098282222368869353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27959268.post-4440901714325704362008-05-31T09:59:00.000-04:002008-05-31T09:59:00.000-04:00It's so amazing what you have done Yvonne.

The changes, not only natural, but what we have done are dramatic, especially the natural changes both good and bad. Bad meaning invasive species like buckthorn. We now have a brush hog and are working on improving the natural beauty a bit at a time. It’s a true blessing to have the property to devote attention to.
