i got 1 flower on my coral tree last year...haven't cut back branches, so hopefully there will be a few in July...

i think this tree has great potential... the trunk looks wonderfully aged...

i thought your caption said: wife organization solutions 🤣 note to self: 'good luck!'

i have to succeed with baobab propagation this year !! small cuttings, truncheon cuttings, air layers... ✌️

a few random trees over the years:

Starting this thread to encourage anyone with ficus cuttings, to give it a go... If you live in a frost free zone - planting in the ground can give great results in a short time. My 1st post is about 3 years in and as you can see the growth has exploded...

the 1st 3 pictures in my hand are mid July, mid Sep (still no top growth), and mid Feb...i took them out of the pots because we get a lot of late summer rain and the cuttings were sulking... not sure if i am going to repot again or just leave them out until September??

Truncheon cuttings - not the easiest propagation route to follow - but I am slowly getting there...

This tree has been doing great indoors for a few months ✌️

this species looks fantastic.... a lot like commiphora. i bet they will grow strong from big truncheon cuttings 👊

baobabs love a lush sub tropical climate in growing season

look at this growth in just 3 months- everything cut off in November.

looking back through this thread, i realise how important letting trees grow into the ground is.The 2 trees i am going to highlight can both be seen in post #71 exactly 2 years ago: black pot right hand side is now double the size 😁

started Jan 2025 - around 15 seedlings fused together - just want to see how the fusion works out :)

i also have 100's of celtis that spring up everywhere in my yard... they technically all grow from seed , so there is your entry:). i'm gonna post a fusion of about 20 seedlings i just potted up this year...

i think it's improving??

i really love this tree.i like how the canopy seems a little higher.

this tree is looking great :D.the wires are helping to keep the branches down and aren't biting in too badly...

A lot depends on your climate. your trees look super for 2 years old... leave the roots alone for as long as you can - you want them to grow out into the ground as then the trees explode...if you have to overwinter them inside just keep doing what you are doing.

3 years ago i cut the roots back WAAAAY too much (post 52) and this tree has been stunted ever since... i am grafting a seedling into the trunk to hopefully get more growth on a now 1 sided tree...

i think only a few years as in the nurseries here (in the bigger bags) they flower soon... the secret i reckon is leaving the branches and not cutting back - my 1 flower bloomed on an uncut 1 year old branch.
