| How do I repot a large Alavera plant?
I have a large Alavera plant that is out of control. I need to repot it, but I don't know how to begin because some of the spreads are hanging down everywhere and are not even in the dirt. They are just hangin on by the Tan
roots not in soil . How can I repot this? It's been in the family for years and I'd like to save it if at all possible! Thanks!

| What is a good alternative to Photinias?
I have red tip Photinias with leaf spot. I don't want to to battle this problem and I am looking for an alternative to them. I like their size (mine are 15+ ft.) and other appearances as a hedge. They get afternoon sun on one side (lawn) and full shade (woods)on the other. What would you recommend I replace these with or would you fight the leaf spot battle? I've read about Chinese photinia being resistant to leaf spot.
Thanks,

| What kind of bamboo should I plant?
I'm interested in planting bamboo. I'd want the 'clumping' variety and one that doesn't grow too tall, due to power lines being nearby, but not directly under. Is there a bamboo that fits that
description that is tolerant to our region? I'm in the research stage and I may find that bamboo isn't the best fit for the area where I want to plant it. I wanted to look into it as an option though. Let me know if you need more info. Thanks for your time.

| I know what I want but how do I put it all together?
Greetings! I'd like more information on how to create a foundation planting for a new farmhouse (being built to look old like from the 1800s) using native shrubs, flowers, trees, vines and possibly antique roses and heirloom flowers. I've got lists and have an idea of what plants and shrubs are native to Arkansas and the available heirlooms, but how do I put it all together? Is there a book or online resource with diagrams? Any information is appreciated. Naturally I want the plants and shrubs that are low maintenance, beneficial to the wildlife and provide seasonal color and interest.
Thanks!
