Same... Super curious.

Local nursery has large potted Parsoni and Blue Pacific plants for "ground cover". Many of these pots have multiple trunks with A LOT of movement. Usually 2 or 3 trunks of decent thickness, long leaders, and they seem HEALTHY. Many beg to go cascade, others beg to be radically bent. And did I...

I, too, have a nursery Bougie that I'm thickening and growing. Right now it's in a 10 gal pot and is outside basking in the south Florida sun on a porch that faces due south. Needless to say, it's a happy plant. I tend to water once every other to once every 3 days and only until I notice water...

I'm so down with this!!!!

Will do once I know it's not going to die after being repotted and the drama that was going on in its old pot. I swear it was a total hot mess, they all were and they were destined for the rubbish pile. I'll give it a month and carefully bend, that limb is VERY flexible.

Actually, with this one, I want to keep it small. Not looking for a show piece, looking for a fun piece. They were a cheapo rescue.

These guys had foil too!!!!!!! Such a mess with petal blight!

How much of one? And off to the left away from the rest of the tree?

Truth. So much truth.

LOL definitely a work in progress and will take YEARS to do anything. Not expecting to wake up tomorrow morning to find that good ole Saint Miyagi came down the chimney and aged it 10 years over night. If I let this thing grow wild for a couple years, I think it would swallow my house. That...

Rescued a pot of three Azalea cuttings. No clue what species. Two of them came out happy happy, one of them I don't know if it'll make it. Treating for petal blight as well. Blossoms are appearing to be soft powder pink, slightly ruffled, with hot pink/fuschia freckling. My tablet sucks at close...

I do, actually. I see the shape of the tree becoming something similar to these to start with... Minus the deadwood of course. And then eventually, after many many years of building and training, something like this;

aaand the tree as she currently stands as a whole;

I swore I wasn't going to touch this plant until deep into spring when her blooms started to fade. Swore. Well... I swear the plant started talking to me and was begging for a bit of a clean up and some attention. It wants to be a Bonsai. It really really does. I, however, lacked the testicular...

There really are so so few. Our local club about jumped for joy when we showed up as a family unit! He's less into pruning, but as an engineer he sees angles and things that I don't and will point out what and where I should cut or what degree I should plant at. He's a gift that way. Fingers...

LOL. Hardmadori... I love it. Totally going to have to borrow that phrase since this one came from a Lowes ;) I agree that yours has a ton of nice movement in there and I agree about just letting it grow and then hack back this fall. That's about what I'm going to do with mine.

Yeah I think I'll likely cut it and use it as a cutting. Right now it's wired because... Bored. This is definitely a play plant, but the other part seems to want to be on a slant and that could be very very interesting. We're in FL so winter weather protection is super easy. Anything near...

PS: Gators are pretty much giant frogs with teeth. Only mothers protective over their nests will have a go at you, and even they really aren't all that terrifying. It's crocodiles like the Nile in Africa and Saltie in Australia that are the epic ambush predators that will end you without...

That's pretty darn intense! I've seen a couple of them while hiking in Arizona, but never quite like this. Hubby and I had a weird experience while rockhounding agate in Payson, Az where we both felt stalked by something and booked it out of the woods, even resulted in firing a warning round...

Let me know when you do. I know mine came from Dewars in Apopka, but as far as species? Coin toss. I know we have soft pink blossoms and it likes to bloom in clusters. That's it. Nice deep green foliage and it bloomed early, signs of new growth from where I've plucked the injured blossoms from...

Two days ago I went on a pre-spring Lowes raid to see what there was and to hopefully find an Azalea project. I found the project... Poor sweet set of 3 cuttings suffering petal blight that are being left to heal and grow up before I do much of anything with them. Picked up a Bougainvillea that...

I have one of these! No idea what the heck it is, but I bought it was a rescue... Well... All three of them. YOURS is stunning. Well done.

Here's the Blueberry tonight after some pruning loose wiring and shaping of the one branch that had me irked. After that was said and done I went ahead and fed her with a decent helping of osmocote and watered her through and through. She's back outside and rotated a bit to try and help sway her...

I can't NOT have Bougies. I saw WHITE Bougies last night and I almost snatched them up. I think I might, if only for cuttings to grow much bigger ones at a later date, or to do graftings for a multi-colored tree. When I lived in Arizona, I hated watching them take hit after hit outside. Luckily...

It really is insane how well ramified they are just by being left alone! I can't wait to see your group planting, they're going to be intense and just divine! I'm hoping this Lowe's blueberry decides to stick around for awhile. I have noticed it's producing a bumper crop of berries, but...
