What kind of soil is it in? It looks to be very organic. Is it actively growing (pushing out new growth)?

A few (of many) shots that I took while there on Saturday:

Anyone planning on going to the festival tomorrow?

You aren't getting out of the hobby, are you Judy??

Oh come on man, you know it isn't. Let's focus on the discussion, not the racist interjection.

Aaaand placed on the ignore list....

Bold strategy Cotton, let's see if it pays off for him.

Started a little experiment today. I took a bunch of cuttings off of one of my Tigerbarks and planted them through washers. The goal is to have them swell and grow over the washers, like some people do with Tridents. Hoping this produces great bases and nebari on these trees, but it's an...

This isn't unusual. I've seen other nurseries do this, but maybe not in pools quite as deep. Helps the trees stay nice and hydrated.

Personally, I'd let it grow. But that's just because I like 'em stout.

Oh man, 11 years ago I had a pine? That's interesting....

Hmm. It's functioning just fine for me...

Nice job with this one!

I, unfortunately, don't fertilize my trees like I should. I looked into Osmocote, but have read mixed reviews mostly because of the casing of the product being slow to breakdown, if it does at all. I have picked up some BioGold, but might look back into Osmocote...

From my experience, I've learned that if I have to ask what other people think I am not that interested in the tree. The right tree will "speak" to me. I personally wouldn't pay that for the tree, because it doesn't seem to have a particular direction it's going towards (maaaaybe future cascade?).

You got the SF-2000 right? I picked up the SF-1000, but may need to add the 2000 for my cutting projects over the winter...

Howdy! Your best bet may unfortunately be outdoors on that balcony. The Chinese elms and Japanese maples will need to be out there anyways with the impending cold season approaching. For the others, you could supplement with a cheap grow light.

This is really cool!! And you use those same HLG 65 V2 that you linked above?

Interesting. Isn't the recommendation 6500K for the vegetation growth? You've found 4000K to work well though?

I recently picked up a SpiderFarm light for this winter. Curious to see how it does after reading good things.

Unfortunately I do not at the moment. I've dropped the price for this guy to $185 to move it out.

Small work in progress Willow Leaf Ficus. Might end up putting it into a slightly bigger pot to let it thicken up a little bit. Needs some light pruning and wire. Stands just a hair over 5 inches.

This is a bummer, but due to some unfortunate circumstances I need to sell just a few trees, including this little Shohin Willow Leaf Ficus. It's a fantastic little tree in a plastic training pot. Great taper, good bones, just needs some wire. I'm asking $225 plus shipping for this one. Can...

Trust me, it's weird for me too haha.

Normally I'd agree with you. But since this tree was actively growing and healthy I worked on it anyways. I don't look at it in terms of the time of year, but rather whether the tree is healthy and pushing new growth.
