Golden Banner with Bur Oak

Thermopsis Montana: Golden Banner 

Searching for a companion plant to the Bur Oak seedling, Allan Mullens of Plants of the Southwest, recommended planting Golden Banner,a nitrogen fixer. Tonight, Linda scraped the seeds and will soak them in hot water overnight.


July 31. Experiment did not work. Seeds did not germinate. Keeping seedbed moist for germination almost killed the Bur Oak. Fortunately, BurOak gave us a second chance and it budding on all branches. Only deep drip watering with a 2 week dryout from now on.
