Chris,
I might suggest that you place it in the auction and let someone who has the time work on it. ;-}. John

Thanks, guys. I haven't seen the roots since I did the work, this one got potted in the "square-roots method." In other words, it was tied down pretty tightly to dimensional lumber just to get it to fit the pot right. Next spring I am going to examine it and finish the bare-rooting process I started two years ago.

I have never heard of the "square roots" method, can you explain it a bit.
Also if there is anyone around when you do you bare root it be sure you have them shoot the event, this will be great learnin' stuff for us all, well maybe not ALL but a lot of us to be certain.

Hey no problem. The "square roots" method is a comical name for a good way to get yamadori stable in a pot. Basically we cut 2X4s etc. to fit into the pot and support the tree correctly until the root base can eventually take over in that regards. I will have to document it for you.

I can post some trees that never should have been collected. First is a small sylvestris that was a bit unhealthy but is getting better. It might be a shohin someday, or I'll just plant int in the forest again. I think I took it for the bark, but it's not really that good...
The second is a sylvestris too, and the third is an experiment (collecting at late summer). It's still alive but I think I'll stick to collecting during spring...

OK, I'll play; ALL of the countless little spindly virginiana junipers I collected early on should have been left in the ground, and the big one I just collected last month. Even when you know better, sometimes you push the limits...
In my own defense, I thought I saw something there... I should have spent alot more time looking at it...like, about a year... Last edited by EarthgirlOK : 25-Jun-2007 at 11:41 AM. |
