I just read through your thread. Success is so satisfying! Very pretty trees.

plus potted twisty. lets see how big it'll get next year with some escape roots. it definitely would've thickened a little more this year if i hadn't taken cuttings, but it was a nice trade.

Cool tree. Is that a slug? I always figured they were bad news for a tree and a sign of excessive moisture.

leopard slug. this is the only type i usually see in my area eating alge off my trees or pots. seems some of them really love the Japanese green top cut paste. i just thump them into the yard.

When you initially took your cuttings, you used half a water bottle as a dome. How long do you keep them in this dome for?

till i started seeing new growth coming out, then you know you have roots. if i didn't have cats, I'd keep the cuttings under the tables out of direct sunlight until the new growth gets strong/starts hardening off.

Can’t want to see how these progress this year. Have a Rubrum I pulled last year in the height of summer and it barely missed a beat. They are remarkable trees.

set these guys on the bench to enjoy the next couple days of rainy, overcast weather. they appear to be doing good.
