Tiny one gets repotted

[Cadillactaste]

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

I just keep coming back to this thread. There is something about this tree. I would love to here more about the techniques you used to develop this tree.

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

Can I join!?

Not if I'm hiding!

Hm.. think you misunderstood the concept..

Any fall pictures of this tree?

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.

I own the right size, see above, but it's just a complete stressy nightmare.

I reckon it would dry out in about 30 minutes on a hot day - so it's permanently buried in a humidity tray.

Now your talking......

 

[Smoke]

Well thats the problem...if something is worth doing its worth doing right. Thats why I don't have mini mini trees. Doing them right is tree suicide....

Planting a cool mini in a giant pot is childs play.
