Is there a simple way to replace my market umbrella crank up string ?

Do I have to use the same type of cord ? Has anyone replaced this cord before or do they always toss the whole thing ? It’s the umbrella type that cranks up with no pole in the middle . I still have the broken cord. Any suggestions would be appreciated .

Try feeding a small flexible wire through the path the cord was in. Make the wire long enough to go through the entire path. Tape new cord onto end of pull wire. Now pull wire with new cord taped on until end of cord comes out. Re tie to umbrella contact.

If you were to go shopping for yard or garden decorations, what decorations would like to see being displayed?

Water fountains, metal benches, concrete tables & benches, gazebos, garden arbors, windchimes, birdbaths, planters, art metal

I’ve already done my yard. In someone else’s yard I always love pink flamingos and plaster gnomes.

I shop around at all the yard and garden centers because none of them ever has everything I can buy in one place. I also look on the Internet when I can’t find exactly what I’m looking for at the local shops. Most home improvement stores have nearly everything you mention. I’m a little particular about my wind chimes. We have had a hard time finding a bird bath we really like, so we put in a pond instead.

Fall and Winter Landscape Tips and Suggestions

Walter — Sat, 16 Jan 2010 18:30:45 +0000

Landscaping Tip for the Fall Season Pruning Your Trees
In general people prune too much. It is true that some trees require more pruning than others. For example, Live Oaks require more regular pruning than any other tree, where as Burr Oak and Chinese Pistachio require almost no pruning.
A good rule of thumb for trimming trees is to try to copy Mother Nature’s pruning techniques. Pruning a tree into an artificial shape is costly and looks unnatural and is usually detrimental to the health of the tree.
Five “Must Do’s” to protect your Landscape from the Chill of Winter.
If you are one of the thousands that have had your landscape and gardens damaged by the chill of winter here is a “Must Do” list you to consider.
1. Treat Your Lawns with pre-emergent now-
To help your grass come back green and healthy, you should apply pre-emergent, a chemical that will keep your seeds from sprouting.
2. Winter Wrap Palm Trees-
Wrap your Palm trees with Burlap making sure to cover the prawns.
3. Check Sprinkler System Censors-
Rain-free Sensors on irrigation system when the temperature drops below 37 degrees. This is very important as water will freeze and ice could be dangerous. It is also wasteful to water during freezing temperatures. 4. Move all tropical plants inside and Drain Fountains- protect your tropical plants from winter’s chill by bringing them indoors and watering them on a regular basis. Drain fountains and wash them as freezing temperatures could lead to cracking.
5. Protect you Pansies-
If temperatures are expected to drop into the 20’s, make sure to water prior to the freeze
as will protect the plant roots from freezing.
If you follow these simple steps each fall and winter you can look forward to enjoying beautiful trees, lawn and plants when spring arrives.

Cold Hardy Palm Trees For Landscape Design And Planting In The United States

Walter — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 08:56:53 +0000

Scattered reports of palm trees growing in Northern areas of the United States and Canada have been known for many years. Semi-truck loads of windmill palm trees have been unloaded and successfully grown in Canada and the Northeast beginning in the year 2000. These windmill palm trees, Trachycarpus fortunei, provide many resorts and homeowners with a tropical look for their pools or patios. Needle palms, although very rare and available only in short supply, tolerate below zero temperatures of the north. Dwarf palmetto palm trees, Sabal minor, and Dwarf saw palmetto palm trees, Serenoa repens, demonstrate cold hardy qualities and are especially desirable as hedges, borders, and as a privacy block.
Windmill Palm Trees – Trachycarpus fortunei
The most cold hardy palm tree is the windmill palm tree, Trachycarpus fortunei, a palm tree that is found growing as far north as Canada. The cold hardy quality is especially historically notable of the windmill palm trees, where the trees are lined around Lake Lucerne, Switzerland leading up to the city walls. Extensive plantings of windmill palm trees, Trachycarpus fortunei have been known for years in southern resort areas such as the Cloister at Sea Island, Georgia, where the entrance to the hotel greets guests with thin, graceful trunks of windmill palms. Tall windmill palm trees also can be seen at the Retreat Plantation Golf Course on St. Simons Island, Georgia at the club house entrance. TyTy Nursery began selling windmill palm trees a decade ago as small trees and recently have successfully transported large windmill palm trees by semi-trucks for planting in such northern cold states as Michigan, Illinois, Minnesota, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and many others. These large windmill palm trees appear to have survived temperatures of below zero and heavy snow and ice storms. It is now possible for Northern states to plant with a tropical garden look around their pool or patio. Windmill palm trees have a great future in the United States as an outstanding tree with a tropical exotic appearance, and a palm tree that survives severe cold temperatures and snows of the north.
Needle Palm Trees – Rhapidophyllum hystrix
Many palm trees have been tested for their quality of cold hardy survival, and the needle palm, Rhapidophyllum histrix, rates high on the list. The needle palm tree was tested years ago at the Brooklyn, New York, Botanical Gardens, and the palm was found to grow well and remain green after snow and ice storms fell during the winter. One quality that the needle palm tree features is slow growth that produces waxy leaf coverings that protect the growing tissue from fast freezing temperatures. The needle palm tree, Rhapidophyllum histrix, produces long needle projections at the base of each palm leaf. This needle is stiff and ominous to man and beast and is responsible for the descriptive name: needle palm tree. The needle palm tree tends to grow in clumps, producing small offset needle palm trees at the base, however, seeds are commonly produced which are scattered around the base of the needle palm tree. The seed of the needle palm tree sprout slowly to grow into small plants. Large needle palm trees can grow for hundreds of years in age, but are rarely found as a native palm tree in forests, because collectors have dug them for landscapes. Even though some needle palm trees have been documented to be 15 feet tall, the trees are rare and expensive in large mature sizes.
Dwarf palmetto palm tree – Sabal minor
In the south, the dwarf palmetto palm tree is commonly found growing as small shrubs and colonies along sandy coastal areas and in poor swampy soils inland. The dwarf palmetto palm, Sabal minor, competes aggressively with other shrubs and trees in native American forests and is a valuable landscape shrub in many exclusive resort areas, because once established, it is evergreen and requires virtually no maintenance in landscapes. Many gardeners have unfortunately tried to dig dwarf palmetto palm trees to transplant and grow in their yards, but because of the extensive root system that is removed, most transplanted dwarf palmetto palm trees wither and die shortly after planting. Good results of planting dwarf palmetto palm trees can be experienced, if the gardener decides to buy nursery container trees. Striking specimens of dwarf palmetto palm trees can be seen when clumps of small trees are removed from the mother plant, that often contains a curved shapely trunk of 4-5 feet topped by beautiful green leaves.
Dwarf Saw Palmetto Palm Tree – Serenoa repens
High demand from the landscaping nursery industry has stressed the supply and availability of the Saw Palmetto Palm tree, “Serenoa repens”. This palm tree grows as a silver form and a green form. It illuminates the dark backgrounds under dense shade. This dwarf palm tree forms clumps and often is used as border hedges and screens. Saw Palmetto palm trees are not fast growing but are evergreen and cold hardy in many Northern areas of the United States, where snow and ice damage most green plants. Cold hardy palm trees are a valuable landscape tree in cold areas where a tropical look, around pools and patios are useful. Recent tree plantings of the Dwarf Saw Palmetto palm trees at golf courses have stressed the supply of these plants. As a native plant discovered by William and John Bartram in 1773, on St. Simon’s Island, GA near Fort Frederica, the Dwarf Saw Palmetto palm tree was discovered growing and was identified by Bartram as “spinosis ” (Dwarf Saw Palmetto). He also found “Corpha palma”, or Great Cabbage Palm, “Corpha pumila”, “Corpha repens” and “Corpha obliqua”.

Hiring a Professional Desert Plant Landscape Expert in Phoenix, Arizona

Walter — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 08:19:24 +0000

Do you live in or around Phoenix, Arizona? This article will provide you tips for hiring a professional desert plant landscape expert in Phoenix and information about plants indigenous to the area. Whether you’re looking to create a xeriscape or just go low maintenance, the following information will be beneficial to you.
Because you live in the desert, you already know that Phoenix isn’t just a sea of brown sand and tumbleweeds. Many visitors are surprised at the color and variety of plants in Arizona, those that are indigenous and those that are not. There are numerous desert plants that stay green all year long and some even produce colorful, attractive blooms.
Desert plant landscaping in Phoenix, Arizona, if done correctly, can bring both beauty and very low maintenance into your backyard. You can start by finding out your USDA zone. USDA stands for United States Department of Agriculture and its zone maps are based on plant hardiness and their ability to thrive in the lowest temperatures of the region you live in. The USDA zone for Phoenix, Arizona is 9, so be sure to choose plants that will grow well in that zone.
Most desert plants, including colorful shrubs and bushes, are hardy, drought tolerant, disease resistant and pretty easy to find. Looking for a little help? Here’s some information about a popular desert plant that will make a great addition to your desert plant landscaping in Phoenix.
Silvery Cassia, also called Cassia Phyllodinea, is a perennial that lives for many years and can endure the worst conditions the desert has to offer. This silvery shrub flowers in late winter through spring with brilliant yellow flowers.
Silvery Cassia is an evergreen-like shrub that has silvery-green, pinnate leaves with linear leaflets that are covered in grey hair. The flowers are yellow, pea-shaped and carry a heavy scent. Pods are light brown and slender when ripe. Silvery Cassia does well in the sun and is extremely drought resistant. Because of this, Silvery Cassia does not require maintenance if selected for the appropriate space, but it can be pruned if necessary after the flowering process. This plant will also attract bees, butterflies and/or birds.
If you are still unsure about what will work in your desert plant landscaping in Phoenix, there are plenty of online resources that can help you. For instance, many local landscaping companies have expertise in desert landscaping and plants that thrive in the area. They may also have a plant library that contains pictures and full descriptions of each plant. You can gather a lot of ideas from these plant libraries!
While you don’t have to be a horticulturist to create a beautiful desert landscape in your backyard, it might be better if you just leave it to the experts. Hiring a professional desert plant landscaping company in Phoenix, Arizona might just be your best bet. They can work with you to pick out the best plants that fit your taste, lifestyle and budget – and they can even help you maintain it!

John Waters is Principal of Creative Environments Design Landscape, the largest and most respected landscape design company in Arizona. Let our team work with you to design and develop plans for a desert plant landscape in Phoenix that will fit your individual style and budget.
