Nope, no mail on the mulberry (as
long as its not a white mulberry ;>). I'm curious about the
redwood. Typically, we expect coast redwood (Sequoia
sempervirens) to survive only along the coastal fog belt from S. Oregon to
San Francisco. So, where did you plant it and how is it
doing?
I am curious to know whether anyone
on the list has ever seen a redwood growing away from the fog belt. This
would be of great interest to me as a plant physiologist. Dawn redwood
(Metasequoia glyptostroboides) does well in a variety of environments,
as does giant sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum). I recall that
there were two giant sequoias growing in Rochester NY until the late
1960s. They had been collected by an expedition sent by Ellwanger and
Barry, the pioneering nurserymen, in the late 1800s, and survived until struck
by lightning in the '60s
