Do you have any useful advices for me? A friend from the club also have bad experience with them. I don't want to collect them any more, if I can't prevent them from dying.

I have a good system to collect difficult rooting trees, and can be extended to any type of tree, especially for a very old and valuable species.
Because is a long description, and I need to include some pictures or draws, I think is better if we open a new topic, because this one still talking about the launching of our webpage in November.
I collect Phoenician junipers from more than twenty years ago, and now the average of survivers is 100%.
I include now two pictures from the last Phoenician juniper that I collected, is more than 300 years old
The first one is in the field, three years ago, just before collected, and the other one is just two weeks ago, when I start to work with the wood. |
