Well Al I don't quite know what to say. It seems that you know my mind better than I do. Glenn this and Glenn that.

GaryS; The following is the work that we do on just some of the species of trees that we grow.
J-Black pine Candle pruned in march and pruned for shape in augest. Dug up and root pruned every two years.
Pomigranate Twisted, double flowering pink and dwarf. Dug up root pruned and cut for shape anually.
Saju, Catlin, Neray, Cedar, cork barked and drake elms. Dug up root pruned and cut anually.
Tridents are cut to the trunk line in the early spring and the heavy growth taken out of them in the late summer. Dug every two years and root pruned.
Apricot, Peach, and Plum are top pruned twice a year and root pruned every year on young material and every two years on older material.
Privit is top cut as necessary and root pruned every three years.
Celtis is top pruned as necessary and root pruned every two years.
I also deal with five diffrent cultivars of juniper but because of there fibrous root structure they can be allowed to stay undesturbed for four years but they must be top cut ever year.
There are Cork oak live oak and bald cypress and montizuma cypress And much more.
Al it's been almost three years ago that you spent 30 minets looking around the nursery, you did not look closely at anything.You have had a standing invitation to come out and work on trees to get a real feel for what we are doing but as you say you are to busy. Al come out and get your fingers dirty I promis you will like what you see and touch.
