My First Monster and Meeting Mach5

I am going to make a separate thread for this tree to track it’s progress once we ID what cultivar of JM it is. There aren’t many, so it shouldn’t be too hard ?
 
Straight pumice? Do you have an auto-water set-up? With a full head of salad, lot's of water will be needed.

Hopefully no glitches with power if your using climate controlled storage. Temps are going south again next week.:mad:

I would imagine you discussed these sorts of things and came to a consensuses.:cool:

Good luck with you maple!:)






For the record, I went and bought a bag of pumice!:):D:D:D
 
By mid-July it grew like an absolute weed, so I arranged to have Sergio help me out again. I got members of my club together and made a day of it.

We cut back, put a graft on the tree, and wired a few main branches.

In the spring, this tree will have the roots cut back again with a sawzall, and it will be potted in a grow box half as deep. It will also get another round of branch selection and wiring.
