Why I love the Primo arborvitae

@MMJNICE Great small Primo plantings, I like them.

Here's one of my Primo cuttings:
1st year - planted in the ground to grow roots
2nd year - wired for movement
3rd year - planted in this small pot, removed wire
4th year (a week ago) - first styling (trimmed a few branchlets to reveal the trunk)

Looks like it's got plenty of room for the roots. Very nice shape, i can see some possibilities for the future after it grows some more ramification. Thanks for sharing 👍 the cuttings in my little planting are around 3 or 4 years old I believe and seem to be about the same size as yours. So quickly question.. how big of a cutting have you ever tried to root? I've never had any luck with anything bigger then like half my pinky to my whole pinky in length really.

Yes, it has some room but not much. My plan was to grow it out in the ground for another year or two, but my son wanted to put it in this small pot. So it will develop slowly, but that's fine with me. Faster isn't always better.

I've only attemped to root maybe 5 Primo cuttings total (I only have two Primos total, three if you count this cutting). All cuttings were about this size. A few of them failed, although I might still have a couple in my grow bed?
