Interesting but I think everyone can accept this. It is all about tree but I will not have the kind of respect for the owner if he just bought it and worked very little on it.

I think it perfectly fine to prune the runners. Your option number 3 is sound to me. You tidy it up and also enjoy the bloom.

1) report trees from pond basket into training terra cota pot before Spring 2) more air layers (Japanese maple and Vietnamese blue bell) 3) go big or go home on drastic cut back

80s all week long. Crab decided to flower instead of going dormant

We hit 80 yesterday. AC doesn't know why it has to run this time of the year. Will be around that for the next week. I remember we had snow last year in the first part of Jan.

Business idea - Since you are a Vet. you probably know. Has there been a treadmill for the four-legged friends? We clocked in at 34 this morning... too cold. :-)

Looks the midwest might experience something like that toward the end of this week. We will hit 80 later this week... the warm air will move up North to thaw out the snow in the last few days... lucky for us we won't see the extreme cold after this warm spell but the midwest will.

We have a low of 34 today and 40 tomorrow... after that we will see high in the high 70s. Santa will not be needing reindeers and sleigh to come here this year.

Trunk chopped but not worth the effort.

Looks like this cold is not for us down here. Lowest temp for next 7 days will be around 40. We will have high in the 60s and 70s next week. Phew, what a relief

I haven't been around here much lately. Saw some news flying around about the extreme cold for the Midwest and Northeast. Low will be in the negative and high will be in single digit in spots. @Carol 83 - How are we doing, flower girl? The hope is this cold will not be moving this far south...

The tree looks dead... Wonder why he did have it cut down. Am so glad no one got hurt and no tree got damaged.

Is this an experiment of trying to grow ficus cutting in water? They root so easy in any type of soil... why the water?

Uncle, Are you fully moved/settled in PA?

I have about six or seven that I started from seed back on 2008. Can't believe they are that old but they don't look like they are... Due to growing in pot all that time
