    Crabapples From Seed

    It is very easy to germinate crabapple seeds. I did not do cold stratification at all. Just removed the seeds and put them into the soil. One thing you should be aware is that crabapple seedlings would take many years to have a first bloom. I am talking about at least 15 years or more. If you...

    Skin Graft

    Thanks for suggestion. Yes, I know I should have made standard samples for scientific comparison, but because I just thought about this technique last year, and I wanted to try it as a trial. If it works well, then I will compare it with other technique. So far, I really like it. Because of...

    Skin Graft

    Hi Leatherback, CptnGlyn answered your question. Skin graft helped the healing process quite a bit even when it failed. It means if we can use anything to cover the wound such as cut paste, tape, vaseline, it should help the healing. As far as I know, skin graft with the punctured tape...

    The 2022 Migration Begins

    Pomegranate supposes to grow all year around, but in the cold area, it has no choice to go to dormancy. So, if you can give it suitable temperature, it can grow in winter. I let all my pomegranates go to dormancy. The reason is that, I can see its structure well when there are no leaves, so that...

    I am sure that the tree will survive in my area!😊. It is alive after the first brutal hot and dry summer! I surprise it has been continuously blooming from the mid summer up to now. I think because it is in stress! But nothing else I could help ! 🤣. This morning Thụ Thoại

    My pomegranate collection

    I worked on it this morning . Before It still has one tiny flower bud at this time ! Because the trunk is already a little big and the skin is thin, it obviously will cause an injury to the skin if I wire it. So, I had to use branch benders to do that job for me. Because I am aiming...

    shoot pruning for black pine!

    Thanks for information. In my area, partial pruning of spring shoots will give a ton of new shoots from needle bundles below the pruned site if I perform the task in mid June. If I perform it in mid September, I will not get new shoots from needle bundles. All my pines are too crowed at this...

    shoot pruning for black pine!

    Thanks for asking. Let me clarify this. You actually can do partial pruning of spring shoot on established tree in mid June, but should not do it in mid- September as young tree. It you do that late, you may get long internodal interval and may not get more than one bud below the pruned site...

    My pomegranate collection

    My teacher just gave me this twisted pomegranate yesterday. It had severe rootbound with 2 big roots passed through the drainage holes. I had to cut these roots to be able to get the tree out of the pot ! It had an ant nest in the soil. I had to soak the whole soil into the pesticide solution...
