Lon sez:
"A. laevis is supposed to grow down to Florida. "Jennybelle" is a selection
of it."
Doc sez:
Yep, that is one of my selections. It grows well and has a few berries but
all are attacked by the quince rust. Thanks Lon. The other is Grandiflora- a
natural hybrid between A. arborea and A. laevis. Both have rust. Nice
shrubs but tend to overgrow. Mine are 8 ft. tall. If they forked I could
make slingshots outta'em.
