Pups minis
G,day I started a reply which got lost in cyberspace on the last post of micro Forrest. As I said I was looking for the right size pot. Point taken Joanie and Steven. The trees are now in growing on pots. Steven in Western Australia we have ( almost ) perfect growing conditions. The tree that Joanie likes as she put it ( is awesome ) which is 25mm base 95mms high, took just three years from a cutting not dissimilar to the trees in the group. I have a system for my cuttings. which applies to all of my cuttings. I select what looks promising then coat the cut with cutting hormones I use jell, a friend uses ( Honey ) he has a huge success rate. I then put them in a mini hot house. I cut a cool drink container(soda drink ) in half I the put the cutting in a pot with 75% crushed gravel or sharp sand 2mms-3mms 25% coco peat(choir peat coconut husks) and put the cut drink container over the pot and keep it moist. I start fertilising on the second flush of growth. Hope this of help here are a few more of my miniatures. Pup the first is a 3 month old Eucaclyptus cittriodora lemon scented gum The second is Ulmus parvifolia X suberosa and umlus parvifolia
