Imperial Masterpiece
MADE MY SEEDLING SELECTIONS WITH THE SIBERIAN ELMS……..ROOTING NICELY TOO.
I was suprised to see actual root nubs on the Siberian Elms.They are getting a grow formula nutrient….quite low really only around .9-1.0 ec.
I do add potassium sulphate so the ratio is a bit higher on this end of the npk.This increases brix,especially with lower overal npk.
I could of fed these very high with the leaders rockiting away,but I chose the slower approach so the rooting would benefit.Natural processes will initiate such as phospherous absorption and natural rooting stimulants that will only be achieved through slower growth and less assimilation of nitrogen and more natural carbohydrate or suger/brix production in the leaves.
I went ahead and made my selections from over 200 seedlings in their 2 nd season ,keeping 65 that showed superior traits over the rest of them.
Traites such as more thicker and vigorous stems with a nicer and healthy color along with no signs of black spot on the leaves…the ones that seemed to have a more natural resistance to black spot as I do not use fungicides at all…( except natural yucca ).
These have more light now growing 6 to a tray and I am excited for the rest of the season…….These will thicken in there resting state with some additional growth,but nice things do happen with rooting when they rest and photosynthesize…….the trunks are almost popping with roots from little root nubs on many of them…..this is a sign of natural prrocesses producing growth stimulants and rooting stimulants in the plant and its roots making a overall healthier tree ……better vascular systems ,roots and all!!!
Just look at the nubs forming in the first picture!!!
Keep in mind these are only about 5 or so mnths old beings I only started them August of last season……. later in the season.
