Jonny D: Ron's a bit sensitive about his speech "impediment"  It's common in the Southeast US. I think it's caused by eating grits -(library paste to the rest of the world)  Tangles the tongue or something. We have to be nice to Ron. He's feeling kinda naked without his coffee cup! I think he should bring it back!  Last edited by Bart Thomas : 30-Jun-2004 at 08:02 PM. |

Library paste?
Lol Ron. Last time I checked New Jersey has an R in the name, yet the locals seem to call it New Jousy  . The southerner's are guilty of doing the same thing. Louisville does have a silent S, but I doubt it is pronounced Loovull .Hmm, for some reason Floridians do not have as harsh of a Shouthern accent compared to the states around us. Maybe, I am used to my accent, but it sounds wierd to everyone else. The only speaking problem that I noticed we have is shortening words. For example, a Northerner would say, "I am going to go to the mall", while a Floridian would say, "I'm gunna go to the mall". The British are allowed to say that they are speaking properly since they were speaking it long before we were. My biased opinion prefers the American accent though. Enough with dragging this thread off topic. You did a great job on your tree Bart. I agree with Colin, a moon shape is definately the best way to go.

If he were watching the Sopranos too much, then it would start to sound "normal!" Badabing!
I was watching the Sopranos too much a month or so ago and it was quite a shock to see an actor commentary at the end, where Gandolfini (actor that plays Mob boss, Tony) makes a few remarks in his normal speaking voice, which by comparison, has no accent at all, kind of the midwest inflection that all the national news anchors follow. Regards, Matt

{Getting back on topic}
Thanks, Johnny, for your comment. Quote:
I presume you are talking about the juniperus chinensis on p 34. Thanks for the lead to the article. I had been thinking that Colin had meant one of those with a high "back" A problem with that sort of pot may be the roots of the tree. They are best described as being of the shape that would fit almost perfectly in a 4" nursery pot, and 3 1/2 -4" deep. To fit it in such a pot would involve a lot of messing around with the roots, which is often fatal to this species. Regards, Bart |

Hi Bart,
Yes thats the one on p34. I will have to differ to your knowledge on this species as to there root system as I've never worked with common juniper before. The problem is the more I look the more I like the image you have created (I want it) and the more i think a moonih pot would work. I can think of two options to get round the root problem. 1. Try and buy or commission a deepish moon style pot - could be difficult or look wrong, unsure. 2. reduce the root mass down very slowly - and I mean mega slow until it can fit into a conventional moon style pot but this could take an extremley long time to ensure its survival. I've done a couple of virts (I'm not the best virt artist) to show why I'm so keen on a moon style pot with this tree. Jonny. |
