I was at the Syracuse Fair and saw my first Oakleaf! It was love at first sight! (I had to ask, I didn't know what it was.) They didn't know what type, just Oakleaf. The Horticultural Building is very big and in the center is an outdoor garden. The plant was about 10' tall, peeling bark, and was still blooming( Aug 31st) though alot were drying.I think they were single blooms. I came home and immediately started researhing them on the web. I guess it was either "Snowflake or Snow Queen". I'm confused because I read that the one with single blooms is spring flowering and the doubles are late bloomers but this one was single and blooming in late Aug. HELP! I am about a 2hr. drive south of Syracuse near Scranton and figured if they could grow one I could too. ( Hope that's not wishful thinking!) I even joined Dave's Garden just to talk to you wonderful people about this subject. ANY advice would be greatly appreciated. Also should I plant now or wait til spring? Thanks Danielle.
