thanks. was thinking maybe v. wilt or something and putting in a hybrid variety that had some resistance may be o.k. already have the cage and leaky hose & not much room. figure toss in a brandy boy and see if she swims.

side note: this particular bed was about 12 feet away from a bald cypress about 5 years ago. since I put in the garden the cypress has grown 40 feet tall and 30 feet wide and is now getting into this bed. I know it has been sucking the juice and will probably have to relocate w/ fresh dirt next year. I've never seen a cypress tree go nuts like that. it was maybe 12-15 ft tall, and then **WHAM** it is now approaching 40 ft.
