Looking happy...again...love the multi trunk conifers...I love clumps. But something graceful with conifers. I'm a conifer junkie though.
Truce. That $5 Alberta.

Alright Sprucers.....
Here is my top growth....quite surprised and happy to see it throwing side growth from these new shoots already...
The left one here...
The top is very too strong....yes...very too!
According to the May cutting schedule, I feel Cutting should come soon....
However...for balance, I am thinking about cutting all but one or 2 leaders at the top soon....with the "May" Cutting in a week or 2.
As the low is not yet as long or developed, with some buds still just emerging.
Seems healthy enough to do anything....
What would you do?

Well fine sum mur.
It was just too thick.
Furk it.
Friendlies.
I hope the low stuff catches up.
There are good buds to cut back to in fall.
Then I'll Probly throw it in a basket next spring and let it go all year....
With one of these on it
Time to see how obedient this thing can get.

Preparing for the red pot contest.
I think it should be red pot period.
Alberta.....Boxwood....lemon cypress....
Whatever. In a red pot.
Anyway....
This triple trunk Truce....
Is now a Deuce!
Left some low branches under the mail and placemat.
This'll be it though.

Looks awesome... what if we do 2 categories? Raw material transformed and 2nd or third year jammers with a lil style put in there wood

Wire came off this one this summer, and got pruned back and shortened about 2 weeks ago. Was going to repot in the spring, but might get some branch wiring this winter. They ran out of red pots last winter
check that wire scar

That bend in the big trunk straightened out quite a bit huh?

This is year 3 one.
I may try wiring them with snow and ice rather than wire!
I just love watching them grow!

I look at this now...
And question it...
But then I See how far It has come....
And it's "progressing ".
Last year I cut It a little after now...
The second set of new buds was about a 1/4in.
Here they are this Time...
Just yellow nubs..
I wonder if HH says, "one to two inches, any longer and backbudding will be Limited...
@0soyoung I wonder if it doesn't have something to do with Aux making it to these buds or not.
Is looking for these side shoots...
More appropriate than looking for Length, which can vary.?
Before....
Selfie cam. I deleted the clear one.sorry.
After...

Auxins and cytokinins are antagonistic. Cytokinins cause bud release. Auxins do the opposite. Auxins cause cell elongation. Cytokonins do the opposite. Auxins are primarily synthesized in buds/branch tips and are conducted to the roots by cambium cells (some is also in the phloem sap, but it is just stuff in the pipe and has no effect until loaded into living cells). Cytokinins are primarily synthesized in the root tips and are conducted up the tree in the xylem sap. It is hard for us to manipulate cytokinin levels. Pruning off a branch tip, on the other hand, causes a sudden drop in the auxin levels below the cut --> auxin level less than cytokinin level --> bud release. Once a bud is released, it extends because of increased auxin synthesis in the new branch tip and leaves. You have extended, though as yet unhardened, shoots; therefore, they produced plenty of auxin.
AFIK, foliage color is not a function of auxin or cytokinin levels, but rather is a consequence of mineral nutrition and light intensity. Chlorophyll is not produced in darkness (etiolation). The heart of a chlorophyll molecule is a magnesium complex (Epsom salt is a handy source of magnesium). Ironically, iron deficiency interferes with chlorophyll synthesis, affecting foliage yellowing (chlorosis). Higher soil pH (less acidic / more basic) more tightly binds iron complexes making them harder to extract from the soil and load into the roots.Suffocating/drowning roots produce an ethylene precursor that gets loaded into the xylem stream. Ethylene (not abscissic acid!) causes leaf senescence; IOW yellowing leaves like normally happens in fall.
