Mr. Wood, Im a big fan, and have been following your Mugo instructions for sometime, So I need to thank you for that.
Since you have mentioned, my favorite juniper, if not species, I am curious on your thoughts on developing them, I have numerous in that stage, and few small ones that will stay small. But for developing them, 1. trunk girth 2.. nebari., well basically just good strong growth, you know what that is, haha. your thoughts on that? Ground? colanders? raised bed? anyting else you might suggest. I use pretty much all inorganic, im in Mass., I am just wanting vigorous growth for 5 years, and your thoughts for Shimp's would be appreciated and respected. I have read&watched many different instructions, and have some in everything, ha. to learn the ole' fashioned way...by experience! But your thoughts are welcomed. Be well.
I also made one of your mesh basket/boxes that you patented, still bothers me, after hearing how that didn't work out. topic for another day.
