Re: New Lowe's

Donna, as you may remember from Marge's dissertations on provenance, it can
matter where the plant comes from.   I have Redbud trees that originated in
TN and in OK that have decidedly different habits.  However, it most likely
does not matter at all to most Lowe's or HD shoppers.  Most of the time I
wouldn't care because I'm not familiar with the growers.  But Jim, being
very knowledgeable in that area, would care.
