, but I have 4 landscape crews to brief and get moving, plus the retail garden center staff to get started-up and moving by 7am.

My area should be out of range of the actual blast, but downwind. I am looking for a low flowering shrub that can take radioactive fallout. Any suggestions?

How about silk or plastic? Nothing living will survive radiation.

I hear jimsonweed cleans wastewater from nuclear plants with no apparent ill effects! (The flowers are pretty and smell nice, but it would take over the world!)

Keep your eye out for something that likes low sunlight too, nuclear winter?

Get pachysandra...... it can take anything. ;)

I have a small nursery of my own. Pachysandra is a sub-shrub, a groundcover. I'm somewhat near a big city, so I do worry about this scenario a little bit. The premise of the book is incredibly awful.
