Reducing an over grown elm

 

[Cajunrider]

Prune another elm

 

[Hack Yeah!]

Enjoyed the yard

 

[bdmatt]

Went tree shopping at some private gardens. Some of the nicest one seed junipers I've seen in SoCal.

 

[Adamski77]

Uh oh. I feel like I’m being tested here.

I organize them alphabetically.
Marvin Gaye = G
The Allman Brothers Band = A

He he he … I do exactly the same… artists by surname… rest by first word

 

[Orion_metalhead]

Shredded some pine bark chips in preparation for soil mixing. I have some tropicals to repot this winter. Five passes through the shredder seems to be perfect.

 

[KateM]

Played with my ficus benjamina

Dug some Banksias.
Remember it's late Spring down here now. That seems to be a good time to root prune most of our Aussie natives.




You may be wondering why these all have one sided root systems. These all came up as root suckers after I dug a self sown Banksia from that garden bed a few years ago so the trunk has grown from a horizontal surface root.
I've had good survival of Banksia if I have new shoots growing strong at transplant. All of them were bigger but I chopped them down to stumps a few weeks ago. The new shoots are now advanced enough to dig and the weather forecast is probable rain for the next few days so everything should be good for survival.

They're now potted up in 30cm orchid pots and placed in shade under one of the nursery benches.


There's one more still in the ground but it's a long surface root with lots of stems growing from it - raft style. I'll need a custom box to hold that one.

supplimental light bar on the edges of the grow table……nice and even somewhat more intense veg light……start co2 fertilization end of next week…….should see lots of green pine seedlingspoking out of the perlite.

Also have added blue spectrum to the already blue 4000k leds..( total veg light/non-blooming).This light recipe experimentation keeps the growth stockier,sturdier and more photsynthetic energy in the leaves!

Also decided on growing about 200 of the Zelkova kabudachi type starters….they are a natural in the co2 fertilized environment.

Hopes for quality seeds!!

JBP work today






And some starters from Eric Schrader

 

[Thetradingtree]

Moved some Itogawa to the sun.

I marked some of my 3 year JM babies that had the brightest red fall color. Those ones will for sure be kept, the rest I’m still deciding on what to do with. They are from a batch of “green small seed” from Sheffield’s

 

[GreenGrowTheRushes]

Salvaged some 2 by 8 planks to be used next spring as shelves for my outdoor displays

Moved the outdoor bonsai to the garage for winter - it'll still be nice tomorrow, but I've got to work and won't have the couple of hours of daylight it takes to move this crew.

As an aside, two Stewartia have been added to the entmoot this fall, and I've been cautioned not to let them freeze. Is this "don't let them freeze at any point during the year", or just don't let them freeze until they go dormant in the winter? They still haven't lost their leaves yet so they're in the garage, but can be moved to the basement (which stays in the low sixties over the winter) if need be. The garage is sheltered, but at least once a winter we get a bad enough cold snap that it does get below freezing.

 

[Orion_metalhead]

Cleaned up the indoor workspace. It had gone through summer as a bit of a dumping ground. Still have a few spots to go through and organize.

Before


After

 

[KateM]

Trimmed a pot

Glazed a couple


Threw one too

 

[dbonsaiw]

Got the trees huddled together and mulched in for winter.

 

[Carol 83]

Moved the garage trees in. We've had an unseasonably warm fall but that's going to change later this week. Sorry, no picture, it gets dark too freaking early...

 

[Ruddigger]

Visited a garden, played with some dogs.

 

[Carol 83]

Opened my little bag of sticks from the Arbor Day Foundation.
