Why am I just finding this!!!!! Oh yes wasn't here last year :-(Merry Early Christmas Everyone!
Welcome to the most practical, ironic contest of the holiday season. "The Little Christmas Tree Contest."
Because of Christmas coming up, you will see plenty of mini Christmas trees still sucking up nutrients in their jolly little pots all along the sidewalks of Lowes, Home Depot, and practically any hardware store including Walmart. I know many of you, including myself, have at least stopped once to check out one or two of these trees. This is a contest you will have fun participating in. If you are able, I suggest entering multiple because things happen.
Although Christmas themed, the contest will officially start on New Years Day of 2020 in order to give everyone a fair amount of time.

. I did a successful air layer on my cryptomeria, so it's 2 trees now but haven't done much else with it/them. The others are tough material. They're alive, but not pretty. This one is the typical mini Xmas tree "Dwarf Alberta". One of my favorite trees in my collection right now. I was able to add some age to it very quickly. Hopefully this year I can get some good pad development
