Zone 8 Social Workout (@zone8sw)

With Zone 8, apart from being healthy, sports must also be fun

Aug 2022 Because the training ground is located in Zone 8 of the GBK Stadium, this community is named Zone 8. The training schedule is held every Tuesday and Thursday.

In the context of zone 8 and August 17 birthdays, games and workout events were held together

I have watched a dozen or more YouTube videos on growing lettuce in the fall. So I planted all these frost tolerable leafy greens here in the house and will transplant them out under our car size canopy with the bunnies. Who will be enjoying them with us. #zone8a #zone8 #lettucemix #spinach #tatsoi #botanicalinterestsseeds #sproutsfarmersmarket (at Sprouts Farmers Market) https://www.instagram.com/p/Br_8DN1hOM8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=z8897v969waq

Oxydendrum arboreum / Sourwood

Family: Ericaceae

Native: Eastern and Southern United States

Mature Size: 50-60ft height; 10-25ft spread

Habitat: acidic, moist, organically rich, well-drained soils in full sun

Hardiness Zone: 5-9

Leaf Color: glossy green leaves; crimson red in the fall

Flower color/Bloom time: white; June to July

Enclosure:

The Sourwood tree has a short, straight, slender trunk before branching off into a crooked irregularity. The irregular branches are strong and thick and create unique opportunities to support treehouse structures, with various angles of branches in all directions. Large structures may be supported at the intersection of large, lower branches on the Sourwood tree. Additionally, large branches will grow not far from the ground, making any structure in the tree relatively accessible. The accessibility is helped by the irregularities of the branches, as they can create a natural circulation ladder through the tree, depending on the configuration.

Treehouse Structure Precedents:

Simple Decking. The decking situated on the branches of a Northern Catalpa would be simple in structure as shown below, but would be smaller in area and located next to the central trunk rather than surround it completely. This would be built using the Tadashi Kawamata method.

Remember those tomato suckers I pulled off of my mature Sweet Million plant? Well they successfully root and I ended up with 11 more plants! I gave 3 away and today I put my two larger ones into containers and my 6 smaller into the ground. I have never grown tomatoes in the ground so it will be interesting to see how they turn out! I never found them wilty in the process of rooting them and I was happy to find lots of healthy roots on all of them.

Other info -  Moraine Honey Locust is a cultivar of Honey locust (Gleditsia triacanthos).

This selection was the earliest thornless form to be patented (in 1949) and widely introduced on the market. It is fruitless (for the most part) and forms a wide, spreading tree 40' tall and wider. Good pest resistance (including a greater resistance to web-worm) and yellow fall color ensure this plant's continued popularity. Dirr considers this selection to be the standard for which other inermis varieties are to be judged. 

Current Nursery Status and Availability - Easily available in nursery trade. Dirr mentions this cultivar in his 6th edition woody plants manual.

Photinia Villosa / Oriental Photinia

Family: Rosaceae

Native: China, Japan, Korea

Mature Size: 8-15ft height; 8-12ft spread

Habitat: clay, well drained soil;

Hardiness Zone: 4-8

Leaf Color: green; golden, bronze yellow in the fall

Flower color/Bloom time: white; fall season

Enclosure:

The general geometry of the Oriental Photinia is such that it can not support any treehouse structure, nor does it create any sense of enclosure from it’s leaf canopy. However, the irregularity of the long branches can offer isolated shade canopy, so the Oriental Photinia is useful for creating a semi-screen, where privacy or light is not desired to be blocked out completely, but only a little bit.
