🌲The Eagleston Holly is a beautiful evergreen holly that is grown as a large shrub or small tree with a pyramidal (or Christmas Tree-like) growth habit. •
•
•
This variety of Holly can be used a couple different ways in a landscape setting; either as a tall screen or as a solitary specimen. The Eagleston has a dense canopy with small, smooth, slender branches which are light to medium gray in color, and boasts shiny, medium-green leaves are accented in the fall with clusters of bright red berries that stay throughout the fall and winter. Growing best in full sun to part shade, it can adapt to both sandy and clay soils and has a moderate growth rate, reaching 20 feet in height at maturity. •

🌳Hideous crimes are being committed all over Texas, some in our own front yards and many right in front of our local businesses. Unfortunately, many have turned a blind eye to the ongoing massacre. •

Greg Grant writes about forming an advocacy group for plant’s rights. He says, “They can’t speak, so we will speak for them. Our first mission…to help stop Crape Murder!” • The only pruning Crape Myrtles require is to thin out the trunks on young trees leaving somewhere around 3 to 7 permanents trunks. The fewer you have, the more you can admire their shape and smooth texture. • Each year around early spring, all you do is remove any new suckers that appear from the ground or from your main trunks. That’s it. • Yes, if the tree is small you can remove the seedpods, but realize that this is purely for aesthetic reason. Removing dried pods during the winter doesn’t promote any more blooms during the summer. Removing them during the summer does promote faster re-bloom however. • This nonsense of pruning back to pencil size wood comes from recommendations from the 1960’s and is outdated. People apparently had a lot more free time on their hands then. There’s no telling how many thousands of dollars are wasted on incorrect pruning of crape myrtles. • Did your Crape Myrtle outgrow its area it was planted in? Much better to cut it to the ground and start over, or pull it out entirely, than to maim it. Most don’t realize that there are many cultivars of Crape Myrtles that have an ultimate height range from 3 feet to 30 feet. Don’t plant a 30-foot Crape Myrtle in a space designed for a 10 foot one

🎄With Christmas lights hung on our
BIG GREEN CHAIR,
and our moss-adorned bridge,
it's a little hard not to stare.
We don't mind the looks,
you can take a photo or two,
all the cheer at THGC
will help you through the holiday blues!
Drive by at night,
to see it all a-glow,
it's just unfortunate,
we don't have any snow!
