Tiny one gets repotted

[jeremy_norbury]

Probably my smallest real tree - it's a Field maple/Acer campestre - grown from a collected seedling.

Going from a massive 4inch pot to a correctly proportioned 2incher from Walsall Ceramics.

Even little trees get wired in . Especially little trees get wired in...

Found a bunch of acer campestre seedlings last year and went for a acer c. google. Twas not until I came across your Flickr album when I found out you are the acer c. mame guy! Lovely work!

Jeremy - Great work as always, hoping just hoping to some day have some as good as yours. Keep up the good work.

Absolutely beautiful!
HAHAHAHAHAH! Like how there's no room in the pot for the screen!

That's a very good idea with the securing wire through the metal screen.

You know how hard it is otherwise...this was a simple solution.

I'd love that! Best part: you're only a 1 hour drive away.
Yaaaaaaaaaaay

How do you keep something do small from drying out?

 

[jeremy_norbury]

Pushed into a tray of wet diatomaceous earth. Eventually the roots can even grow through into the substrate.

Cheers for having the MOST trees in the smallest amount of space!

Thanks.

We're the most densely populated country in Europe (we passed 17 million people this week) - in an area a bit bigger than Maryland...so I just HAVE to reduce the size of my plants to fit my tiny yard.

Might become 16,999,999 when they kick Tent's crazy ass oughta there!

So you need a population counting board as can be seen in Atlanta

Jeremy - Can you give us some details on how you grew this tree, age etc. Did you go it way out then cut way back or ? I see the wound on the side so I assume that is the case but I just guess. Thanks for the information and your great photos of your trees.

I was thinking the same thing. Do you do all your pots like this? Very intriquing concept.

Lovely tree...thanks for sharing the step by step photos of it's finding its new shoes.
