Imperial Masterpiece
Apologies Alexandra,
@my nellie ,
for the late reply. Yesterday was fertiliser day and the other days - repainting house.
There are no images of these plants as they came from nurseries.
Enjoy

Fukien tea bought at the Aranguez Nursery, it was 15 cm tall and had an unusual
look. Plus, at the time a test was being done with a soil mix made from Leca and
aged compost.
You might see at the top of thepot, the fired clay pebbles
So the plant was brought home and the soil washed off in a bucket of water.
Elm cultivar - source originally Canada - brought in by one of the Chinese Johns.
Somehow ended up at the San Antonio nursery.
When purchased was a 1 m whip.
Not a great elm type, was almost "finished " and ready for a 2.5 cm deep pot
and the experimental 3 mm soil,
Branchlet died on the first branch, why ??????????????
You cannot see it, but buds are forming, out of dormancy.
Same bare rooting treatment as above.
From the JAL - you asked - what they look like today.
[ Please note as the JAL went, it is believed that the entries were
only included for variety of countries - NOT quality of work ]
The Gmelina has been shown many times - forgive
The Serissa if still alive was given as gift to someone in China.
Not the pot or soil. Just the shrub.
And if I have not shown you this before - Surprise.

I would like to know : Have you or Khai been ever tempted to plant young trees in the ground so that you can get faster growth?
