These are Zelkova Serrata…Japanese Zelkova tree.
These will be on sale during the season next year and through that following winter……all the ring-barking will occur in this coming Spring after preperations of the crowns during this winter.
THE GOOD NEWS IS THE ZELKOVA SEED IS VIABLE AND SPROUTING AT AROUND 50%!!
I plan on about a 50/50 mix of kabudachi style and also the taller single Broom style starters that are started in the shade to stretch the trunks to around 6-7” hopefully……….these will all be ringbarked for roots in the Spring outside…….When they settle I will start selling or perhaps let them thicken till later Summer.THEY WILL BE PLANTED INTO 3” grodan delta blocks after groundlayering.
A LOOK AT THE GROWHOUSE REORGANIZATION FOR THIS ALL THIS EVENING……I purchased another 6 oz. Of pine and zelkova seed to get an even start all the same time……The japanese black pine cutting in the left in quite strong light and the zelkova in more of a propogation strength so I can prepare correctly the crucial early stage the very short internodes and many branches.
Can see in the VERY TINY BROOM ZELKOVA PICTURE WHAT CAN BE ACHIEVED!!!
Just of course a taller trunk will be initiated this go around by starting in the shade.
Finally getting around to this zelkova crop of kabudachi and Broom style.
I CAME UP WITH THIS IDEA A WHOLE 3 YEARS AGO!!
glad to finally give it a go.
*** TALLER TRUNKS ARE DEFINATELY IN THE MAKINGS FOR THE SINGLE BROOM TYPE***
aside from the growhouse 1st pic……..all the zelkove pictures were from initial experimentation done November 2021 —- May 2022 ……..to see the possibilities.
