The Tree Thread

[fredtruck]

Mountain with Trees has lost about 1/3 of its leaves so far this fall. The ramification is getting very dense.

Keeping the tree thread on the first page is a must. Did some work on this little one yesterday.

Nice job, NY.

Vibrant colors, apart from my Shishi my maples got lot of sunbearn this year and leafs got crispy, I removed them all before they really changed color.
They need some more shade I think in summer or more water..or both
Another spruce,difficult on, needs a few more branches up top to work with, apex looks crappy now even more so on picture, I swear it doesn’t look so bad in real..

Horrible game. Not sure who those guys were wearing Bama uniforms, but it wasn’t the Crimson Tide.
Go Horned Frogs! Go Ohio State!

Celtis Africana still in development. I removed all the guy wires as they have reached their maximum tension and took this pic. After this picture I put guy wires back on to pull the branches down again.

I defoliated my Water Elm and spent some time wiring it out. I feel like my wiring skills are starting to get halfway decent. At least better than they were.

Here is one of my collected Hemlocks, starting to show some promise. Current stage is foliage and pad development. has adjusted nicely after collection. Note the anderson flat set's off the dark flaky bark at the base. Will likely reduce the number of branches as it progresses. Tree is 18 inches.

I missed my opportunity to get a good shot of the Fall color on my Trident



.. and here it is defoliated:

Nice tree! How are you able to grow it down there without the leaves burning? And fungus problems. I'm not even in the tropics but about ready to give up on maples. They leaf out and then stop growing.

Thanks! It is a bit tricky. I keep them in full sun through around mid June. Then they go into dappled shade or morning sun depending on the variety. Tridents can take a lot more sun than some of the other Japanese Maples I have. BTW, you must post a photo to comment in this thread.

Another spruce I recently wired, not completely satisfied yet but will see.
Needs another pot too

JMHO: This tree belongs in a round pot grown sitting high on a sort of mound like a tree on a hill.

OK. These were a few years ago in April. Couldn't conquer the persistent fungus on the fat one so it's in the morgue. Long periods of rain and no sun so can't really spray if it doesn't dry.
