Lance's two trunk Raintree

[LanceMac10]

Coming in now, nice and tight. Impossibly small pot slowing everything down. Should have a nice crop of flowers shortly......



Need to get down to Bonsai West to buy a row boat to grow this thing in for a coupleafew years.....should be able to find something in that pile!!!

Nice Tree!

I have one that I am letting just grow crazy, may be you can give some pointers on styling it?

 

[Carol 83]

Me too

 

[LanceMac10]

Feed it a ton, water often and let it grow to build some trunk.

 

[Petebak]

already on it, but then what?

 

[Lobaeux]

Looking good Lance!

Lance, what are you feeding your BRT?
Thank you.

Sorry for the delayed reply, @Petebak . I use a few different ferts. I use an organic pelletized fert throughout the growing season. I'll use Miracle-Gro tomato food during the height of the growing season. Any balanced fert should do the trick, though. Tomato food has high quantities of NPK, so I try to mix in a fert with less concentrations of NPK to try and keep the salts down. But like I said, any balanced fert should be sufficient. I fert a diluted amount, but with frequency.

@Petebak

I couldn't help but ask... how does Tito "handmake" his Vodka?... I hope it's not by filtering the solids from the mash by straining it through his dirty socks or something like that...

 

[Random User]

Actually, from the pics that I can recall, it's hard to have a BRT that isn't appealing on some level is it?

I'm going to set up lights inside for next year. Your making me jelouse! Lol

 

[LanceMac10]

Tough to take some photos with the "handycam" but here are two "kinda' focused" shots of a flower over less than 24 hours....

I think this massive Mica pot will give me what I want.....

 

[Rusty Davis]

Lots of room to stretch it's toes

 

[Lobaeux]

I'm liking that pot. May have to get something similar when I pot my big(ger) BRT. I'm debating, debating, debating on whether to repot my small flat top, the issue is whether I bury most of the trunk or not. Decisions, decisions.

Gonna start looking for a similar pot, Lance!
