Grand Fir (Abies grandis) |
Have Tree Native |
1990 side forest. Initially planted for Xmas trees, let them go and they have now evolved into an effective visual screen between us and Vanessa. 2015 trimmed the dead lower branches which opened it up, and plan to also cut out the dead trees. 2016 native ferns, salmonberry, snowberry, elderberry, and vine maples are noticeably colonizing. 2017, 5 pots planted along front creek by SCCD, blackberries overgrew these. |

Spanish Fir (Abies pinsapo subsp. pinsapo 'Glauca') |
Prev Dead Zone |
This died, I assume from lack of water although I did water it regularly. Oh well. From Charlie. Interesting tree but don't get another one. 2017 Sidewalk border. |
||
Purple Goose Leaf (Acaena inermis 'Purpurea') |
Prev Dead Zone |
2014 foot of Harry, 2015 moved to foot of deck grass. Christianson's Died in 2017. Not that great of a groundcover. Don't replace. | ||
Bear's Breeches (Acanthus mollis) |
Have Perennial Medicinal |
Originally in the hosta bed, where it never bloomed, then moved to porch bed where it also never bloomed. 2014 moved to front bed, still no bloom. 2020 still in all 3 spots (roots must have regrown when I moved it). I've never seen a bloom, but it gets nice foliage in late summer/fall. Give this a slug ring. Compressed leaves will bring down swellings. Roots ooze a slime useful in a compress for burns, dislocation, and gout. Watch for slugs. Green foliage mid Dec |

Have Tree |

||
Cutleaf Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum 'Inaba Shidare') |
