The two plants I am currently asking about are my Dombeya and a pomegranate tree. Thank you. I’m not good at uploading photos.

I love my weekly emails. You are a wonderful resource!

If you start a new tree from a sucker, it may not be the same as the desirable tree you have. Chances are those trees are grafted onto rootstocks, and that is what you would get.
