Re: Dirca palustris?

I have a couple of these.  One is in an area that is constantly moist and
has some standing water in Apr/May.  The other is in a fairly dry
location.  Both seem to be doing fine.  I have seen these in the wild
and in gardens.  They will tolerate considerable shade but I like them
best in a bright place. In bright conditions they make a nice small specimen
shrub,  dense, well-formed, with good foliage.
