Comparing size with Clicio

[leatherback]

For the record.. I WAS working on my trees, repotting one of the 2 last cuttings I kept last year when I did a whole bunch of them. But a storm passing by interrupted the fun!
Here is proof:

They like to be repotted in the summer

For the record:

As promised to @leatherback , my BRT from seed went down to the ground today. It will be it's new home for a year or two.

 

[leatherback]

Well, I guess that is where this unfair comparison ends

Good choice. Would love to see this in 2 years!

This is not by design.. Yesterday I worked on my raintrees.

Before pruning:

After thinning out. It really should go in a bit larger pot, but I do not have one with a driptray

It looks gorgeous, Jelle.

Mine is in the ground, which means I am being unfair. Im gonne try to make a picture later on.

Well, not so good picture, but the tree is very healthy. Today lows of 3C and the BRTs are a little sad. Hoping for a warmer weather tomorrow.

Glad to see you back around here!

 

[Clicio]

As promised @leatherback , the BRT inside a colander in the ground today.
Sorry about the pictures, it's difficult to lay down on the wet ground to take the pictures.. But I assure you it is thickening very fast.

Guess I need to throw in the towel and admit defeat!

Don't.
I've cheated.
We never mentioned it was supposed to be in the ground.

When comparing sizes, someone always gets their feelings hurt..

Clicio might have an inherent advantage here, though. He's got a true "Brazilian" Rain Tree. Leatherback's is more of a German Rain Tree?

Well.. What shall I say. It is a mixed heritage raintree, migrated in the embrio stage. So I guess a Brazilian-German raintree
