yes.. it is endemic on juniper ... and note the name.. APPLE rust .. so though it has no impact on the juniper.. it is causing problems on nearby apple.. which would probably include crabapple [and i wouldnt be surprised if problems on oother prunus] ... but you can research that part.. if i mis-spoke ... or others will correct me ... if it were me ... i would be done with them.. as i have been with many juniper in my garden ... and .. i would get.. wait for it.. a pine .. lol ... and play with those.. both the juniper and pine are very large.. fast growing trees ... so when i say play with them.. in pots, it is short term.. unless you have mother earth options ... there are many mini conifers.. which can live in pots for a very long time ... but growing conifers in pots can be very tricky .. good luck ken

Hey Ladies, Thanks for thinking of me. Sadly I may have to find homes for some of my plants. This house and yard are "so small". I may rip out the stuff there and bring "my" stuff, from my gardenweb pals. Helen, the tithonia has been blooming it's head off. I having been cutting flowers to take to work everyother day. They really brighten the place up. Cool yellow!! Everyone thinks they are giant gerber daisies. Kristi, the hibiscus has finally bloomed. Wow!!! Love the color. Other than that, just working and going to school. Got promoted to manager at the K-9 Boutique. Talk about great therapy, working with dogs. : ) Tropicalfreak

It isn't a night scented jasmine either according to the employess there. In fact they sell tons of cuttings to the night time blooming ones..It is something else, and I will find out hopefully by the end of the day...Tyhe fragrance emits all day too... I like the idea of trying to root it.Thanks alot everyone still... Mike

I'll probably be basement storing a few Basjoo shoots this winter. I think I have a basement I can use (my own was too cold the last two winters and too warm this year (finally having heat does that!). I was going to try overwintering outdoors but I can't give up the height I have... I'm way too greedy! My brugmansias were lost two winters ago (re: lack of heat comment), I'm going to try and get back a few cuttings this fall so I have something come springtime. I've had great luck with them, a nice six foot tall umbrella of blooms. Very cool, and that was on my apartment balcony so it was a little unusal. Now about that pond.... I'm not sure how I'm going to work that in.
