Why I Oughta...

There I was, minding my own business as a tourist walking around Dublin when I came across a large municipal sidewalk planter that looked different.  It was tall and round and didn't have flowers in it.  \ Instead, it held a dwarf ginkgo tree.  Full, round-in-habit and leafy.  See below for a couple photos: I have (now) three Spring Grove (dwarf) Ginkgos planted in the ground.  A look at their hardiness rating and it shows they're hardy down to Zone 3 .  The rule-of-thumb is that you can (likely) over-Winter a tree in a container if it is able to go a zone below your actual zone.   We're in 6A.  This is hardy down to Zone 3.   It *might* work. 

We came across a really nice installation (and a big one, too) of European Fan cobblestones right at one of the corner entrances to St. Stephen's Green in Dublin. This arch is named Fusiliers' Arch and is more than 100 years old. I've posted a few times about European Fan including Disney Springs  and how I was thinking about it for the pizza oven floor .   This installation of European fan is both wide and deep.
