- Future generations will curse you. If you don't plan to move soon,
- you'll likely curse yourself.
-
- Pyracantha, like tams, is popular among people who are looking for
- something they won't ever touch again. And, like tams, it has its
- place. In the compost. Make that somebody else's compost. Somebody
- who has an industrial-strength turning system and plenty of time to
- wait for the stuff to become non-lethal.
-
- Everyone around here has been talking about callicarpa--I suspect
- it's going to be *the* shrub in the Pacific Northwest for a while.
- Does anyone know about its habits? The descriptions have me almost
- convinced to spend whatever the ridiculous rate is to try one.
