It has been a while since that last time that I posted pictures of the shimpaku's that were potted in my new test soil mix. Guess that soil isn't too bad.
Almost two years ago the picture on the left was taken when the trees were put in the new soil (1/3 fir bark and 2/3 crushed lava stone.)
The year before that they were just starter plants in 4" nursery pots.
In spring of this year I up-potted them into these 5 gallon nursery pots. Not a bad growth for a juniper. Total of less than 3 years from a small starter plant to what is in the picture on the right ;o)
That is good enough for me. Guess I have a soil that works. For me at least.
Might start styling them over over the winter. It will give me something to do.
