News / Japanese red maples in Poland [15]

osiol

Thanks for the info and the suggestions. Are you a professional landscaper or landscape architect?
I'll start growing a few of the Japanese maples this summer (in a pot). Good Idea with the wall climbers, I hope they can cling-on to the porcelain tiles.

Would covering a plant in fleece prevent it from getting air? I was thinking I'd use some snipers ghillie suit netting its pretty compact and very breathable, and not very expensive in the states anyways.

Thanks again, you gave me some great ideas.

I was jusgt going to restore my familys home and clad the exterior with

What an odd question. Do you run a nursery, PC? Looking to export trees, maybe?
I know they have Dogwoods, I saw one in a photo someone posted here.

I was going to restore my family home. The exterior is going to be clad with all white porcelain architectural tiles, its all going to be monochrome like a Richard Meier house. For the landscaping I was going to plant Japanese Red Maples in the front yard giving it the traditional colors of Poland white and red.

I was wondering if Japanese red maples can grow in southern Poland, I can't seem to find any info on the subject.
The tree can grow from a landscape zone of 5-9. A 5 is similar to the weather in New York which is somewhat the same as Polands.

Does anyone know or ever tried this?

Life / WHY POLISH PEOPLE DON'T USE THEIR NATIVE FIRST NAME WHEN ABROAD? [136]

Most westerners can not pronounce Polish names properly, and when they try, they butcher it. Rather than having them learn the proper way to say it; we translate it to the western equivalent and make it easier on them. That doesn't mean that they westerners can't try.

USA, Canada / american girl and a polish boy, how to stay in Poland legally? [14]

Contact a lawyer that deals in immigration cases. Tell him the facts, especially the part where you were teaching at the school and your visa situation. This will be expensive but you should get all the facts, lawyers there are 3X what they are here in the States, believe me.

Good Luck.
