Aye, thy British seedes! Methinks thine seedes are ignor'nt of such as countrie and King, but scatter ye seedes whylst ye may, and reap as ye have sowne:
If thy seedes be seedes of stout oak, or nut of hard devising, favor ye scrapest such seedecoat and allows't fair moisture ingress. For other seede thou shalt soak'st in water and that seede that floats shall thy cull and ferret, and plant'st not. But thy seede that sinkest, this shall be thy true seede! And this thy fairest seede shalt thou consider to stratifye, and wrap'st in damp clothe in a sack of clear sheathe, and places't though in a playce of coolness and dark (such as ye might find'st in contryvance of vyctual and fruite preservation) for six fortnights, or until such tyme as thy seede may sprout and be planted in this wondrous and fertile earth.

I will be trying to grow some collected pine seeds. This is my first attempt at pine seeds so hopefully i'll have some luck. Also some repotting and i will try to make some sort of coverable frame for my more tender trees.

Doody:
I do not think that Ohio has enough warm weather for you to be cutting trees hard. Remember that I am in central California and our cold weather generally does not catch us until mid October and sometimes not until late November. Your trees are already starting to turn color and mine will be growing for another 30 t0 45 days. Here is the trade off: I will get two full growing periods every year. The first is from 70 degrees to 100 degrees and the second is from 100 degrees to 70 degrees. If we have 15 days of temperatures over 100 degrees, the trees go dormant, as soon as the tempratures drop under 100 degrees, defoliate and prune or just prune and you have started your second growing season. If I lived in ohio I do not think that I would use this growing technique. On the other hand you will have weeks of wonderfull fall colors and I will have almost none. Always consider climate before applying technique. What works in one climate could be fatal in yours.

I'll be following Rips lead. Working up to our "second spring". Plenty of monsoon rains...
Defoliating tropicals for the last time. "Cleaning" up the weeds that have taken over, cutting some stock back, trimming roots on plants that have escaped. Trying to get trees presentable for the fall show after a brutal summer... Getting ready for collecting season- putting up training barrels and boxes. Will mix soil eventually. Soon I'll revamp my winter storage/greenhouse. But it's hard to think of "cold weather" right now... Jim TX |

Enjoy it!
I'm going to do the same old same old. Water, fertilize with 0-10-10 and wait for the leaves to start turning colors. We call it flowering around here. The native maples are unreal around here in Wisconsin. They turn floresent colors from yellow to red and everything in between. The Oaks are last and then you know Winter is coming. I'll enjoy the colors and when Winter arrives- when the temps consistantly are around 28ºF at night, I'll put all the trees away for winter. They spend the winter in an unheated 10'x10' room I have in the back off the kitchen. I put a space heater in there for those below 0ºF nights. I keep them frozen all winter at 28ºF. Hope it don't get too cold this Winter. I have settings on the space heater from previous years and there's one that's -40ºF. We havent seen it quite that cold since around 1992 or so.

YOU CAN NOT RUSH TIME

Fall is nearly here, it is by the calendar anyway, and thoughts are of overwintering the trees. We are still experiencing warm temps during the days.... 70-80 F with a rare one pushing 90. The nights are mostly in the 60's with a bit of the upper 50's. As the nights get cooler, I will be bringing the tropicals in for the evening and out again in the AM.
The trees that will go into dormancy will have two locations this year. My unheated garage will be host, again, to many of my trees. This area has the back-up under shelf heater for those real cold days. The second location is in the back of my yard. I have several trees in the ground in this area. Some will remain unprotected less for a good 4-6 inch blanket of leaves. Others in the ground and some potted trees will go under a new PVC tube and plastic sheet greenhouse. This is an experement this year and will not house any of my 'good' trees. Perhaps next winter I will have faith in this system and use it more. My fertilizing has been cut back and will be cut back again at the end of the month. Growth is slowing down and the trees are looking like they are ready to rest! And Yes.... I am visiting the garden centers and nurseries to see if they have anything worthy of purchase.... I have already found a real nice Cotoneaster Apiculatus that will be worked on next spring. I must admit that each year I suprise myself with the added knowledge I have gained. I no longer look at the price first when I go through a nursery. A 'Bargain" tree is no bargain if it will not 'work'.
