Will Scots Pine ground layer ?

rarely. It certainly is not easy and can take years to root..

It is scots pine.
I want to plant it in a shallower container, so I burried the surface roots deeper, in an attempt to get them stronger. Next report I might then be able to shave part off of the rootball.

What do you get from 10 months of near continuous rain..
Third buckets in two weeks. We had a few dry days with sun, and today the rain returned, as did these..

Same here in England this year with all the rain here. Ive been using beer traps and catching up to 100 slugs per night in each trap!

This was in a garden a few days ago. Today I saw it on the roadside and I asked what the plan was. Well.. Lucky me.. Their trailer was full yesterday, so it was not in the municipal dump yet. But that was the final destiny. Now.. It might still end up there. But if nt, this will get an individual thread. But that is for spring to tell.

Ground laying?

 

[leatherback]

Spent some 2 hours plucking, pruning and wiring a picea forest I inherited when I bought a nice Sperling pot.
Now I am wondering whether this little forest does deserve a decent pot, even though I bought the pot for another tree, and the wiring was just for fun so I can pass the forest on to someone else. Hm.. Dilemmas.

Finally, a hint of winter.
