Careful with Turface... dangerous stuff...

Back in the basket for awhile to thicken the roots coming out of the trunk. The goal is the have nebari an a port... You can't really see it but the taper is coming along nicely... You can see the amount that came off.

Here's the results. Outside of this one fat root that I removed, the rest of the roots were fairly fine and exited the trunk in a nice radial pattern so experimental success.

Olives are fine into the low 20's at least without any shelter at all.

I then stuck it in a little basket from the dollar store with a bunch of holes in the bottom and the big side holes covered with drywall adhesive tape. This mix is mostly ~1/4 pumice with a little black lava to hold some water in the soil. It's been in this little basket since. No trimming or...

So... I went a little radical. You can't tell but it's cut slightly at an angle to correct the annoying slant. As you can see there was no rot. It had sealed off inside and it was just bark flaking off. I did not let it dry. Instead I used talc hormone. That Pick with the powder on has the...

Here this was the little fella in a pot by the incomparable Sonny Boggs 11/03/2024. I didn't like the angle and when I looked at the bottom, I thought I saw rot...

Callistemon viminalis hybrid 'Little John' plus a little friend if you look close. Vitex agnus-castus 'corteza áspera' still blooming

Careful with that mix it looks like it holds a lot of water... They can be thirst when it's really hot but if not you can rot pretty easy. This is especially true when a lot of foliage is removed.

I actually dig the angle as is. Maybe something like this where you take off most of the growth from the inside slant and work your canopy a bit on the top grow those two branches out with the green arrow to create balance. Let the bottom green arrow grow long to thicken. Just my $.05 (we don't...

Be very very careful with straight DE. It MUST be watered daily. If DE dries even slightly, it will suck all moisture from roots. It's great stuff if you can find the calcined type that is hard fired as it holds more water than anything, has extreme Cation-exchange capacity, and the best ability...

I may have a few suggestions to fit the bill here... stay tuned.

I'm gonna revisit this in a couple of days... I'm researching some new purchases. I'll let you know if the range overlaps yours.

Hey did you ever find your Osteomeles? As it turns out I found some at my nursery. I snagged one not knowing what it was. Osteomeles subrotunda I'll get pics up tomorrow.

I’m at the nursery now wish me luck on getting back into the growing and throw away area!

😀

Exactly!

Have you ever seen what bears scratching their backs do to trees??? lol They snap off branches, rip off bark, push them over and all kinds a fun!

If you ever want to get around that ummm restriction… use a VPN like proton. It’s invaluable for things like crypto.

Like you need much arm twisting to like flowers... lol

I mean, start a thread here and just update. Some threads here are well over a decade old on one tree so that's a solid option.

Welcome! @Esolin is correct that's 100% a Juniperus procumbens 'Nana' There are many folks here (probably everyone) better to give you advice on it so I'll not but I will say a hardy WELCOME!!! Don't do anything at all but keep it outside and water until you get some good information on care...

Stunning bro!!! What's the secret to keep them? I have always wanted to try but been a little intimidated.

Of course Walter would say it that way!!! He is the king of "naturalistic" trees.
