Re: [GWL]: Top Selling Trees and Shrubs

Jeff, Larry,

    Tam Junipers can be any of a number of different plants, often Juniperus
s. 'tamariscifolia,' but almost as often it seems, any number of different
low-growing species, especially ones sold as J. sabina, or J. pepin savins.
    One thing you'll generally find with these junipers sold, is that most
of them are male cultivars, as is, of course, the also horribly popular (
and hugely over-planted) "fruitless" mulberry.
