I have cristata growing around the base of three pine trees. The trees have
no limbs 15' from ground. They are about 2' wide around each tree and doing
fine.
Last August I potted up Three dwarf hosta to donate for door prizes at our
club meeting. I mulched around the top of the pot with alfalfa. By October
the had 15 to 20 new leaves. A lot better than the mothet clump. Might be
worth a try.
