Chumono
Tsuga heterophylla.
-Common for seedlings to establish on rotting logs, or other form of downed-woody debris…. Nurse logs.
-They tend to produce long, shallow, “searching” type roots.
Collected. Bare-rooted. Minimal root reduction.
Downed woody debris.
Wood wired to pot. Tree wired and stapled to wood.
A bit of pumice, mostly fir bark substrate.
Topped with sphagnum.
I’ll check under the sphagnum next Fall, but anticipate keeping the upper roots covered for 2 growing seasons. When the time is right, tree will be styled into a suppressed form.
