Tree Peony 'Li Yuan Chun'
Well even though it doesn't quite feel like spring yet, and it is still February, I am starting to see the first signs of life on some of my tree peonies (including some of the very cheap sticks / Tree Peonies I Planted from China!) I can't believe how much one of the more mature and Expensive Tree Peonies from a tree peony farm here in the US, Tree Peony Garden, has already started to grow. I'm guessing this one will have at least one blossom this year (or maybe more), and I can't wait to see its lovely pink flower. Also 3 of the Tree Peonies from China via Ali Express are already showing signs of life via tiny red buds originating at their base. I planted most of these as deep as possible hoping they would develop their own roots and prevent any possible grafted roots from sprouting. So we'll see when their leaves open whether these are tree peony sprouts or herbaceous peony sprouts.

That must be a big relief to see that they are alive. I have so many tree peonies that are questionable that I am looking forwards to, and I have no idea if some of them will sprout at all.
ReplyDeleteIn about 2-3 weeks soil temperatures should start getting above freezing which may trigger some new growth.
Steve,
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm curious to see how many of these tiny tree peonies from China actually sprout, and I'm also curious to see what color they bloom (which will take a while longer to find out, I'm sure).
Good luck with yours as well!
