How old are theese from seed in this picture. Forgive me if it's mentioned. Just read all 24 pages. Kudos. That's some skill.

Thanks @Drcuisine

Here is a little peek at what I have going on.
These reach a state where they are quite indestructable.They get rather green.My favorite is a low strength fertlizer.The stonewool promotes much fertilizer availablity and coupled with bio-stimulants and a low strength NPK they do great with a sort of sparten approach.Even outdoor too.
These are only at .6-.9 ec!!! Very early veg.

There are more cuttings rooting to fill this whole flood table and just enough time to get them to size in April.

These are quite durable little trees…..lots of calcium….



That is a great growcourse!!
Get a small tent and do some tests……View attachment 523552View attachment 523553View attachment 523554View attachment 523555View attachment 523556View attachment 523557View attachment 523558View attachment 523559View attachment 523560

You are amazing my friend!

How old are theese from seed in this picture.

About 15 weeks from the planting of the seed…….germinated and made seedling cuttings around the first week of October after the seed grew for two weeks!!!
Yea,right

That's incredible! Put me down for 20. Would this work for cedar?

I thought I would chime in and show updates on one of these pine starters I bought ONE year ago.

There have incredible number of established low branches. My thought for two of them was to grow out low sacrifice branches and try to make the shortest fattest JBP possible. The tree still has plenty of original needles and is still producing low buds on the trunk. I let two leaders grow. You can see each of last years two flushes on the long branches. Candles got to be close to six”. The trunk is now just over an inch in diameter. This is in one year!!! I don’t know what month the cuttings were started or when you did the seedling cutting. I’m guessing the tree was four months old when I got it early spring 2023.

I repotted into a strainer basket a week ago. I’ll probably gradually reduce the two sacrifice branches at the end of this summer and allow a Lower branch to become the new sacrifice branch while maintaining all other branch close the the trunk. So far I’ve kept the trunk to less than 2” in height if I ca get a four inch wide two inch tall tree I will be happy. That’s the goal and was from the beginning.

There are seedling and there are seedlings but I have never seen anything that comes close to what cemg1 has been able to produce.

I recommend EVERYONE buy at least one of these pines if for no other reason then to see what’s possible.

Keep up the good work.

One more shout out to Dylan and his increadible work ground growing highly contorted deciduous pre-bonsai. The two of you are making some of the highest caliber pre bonsai material. Dylan is best contacted directly. I think his cell phone is on his website. http://cedarrosenursery.com/

Happy growing.

Do let us know when you post on eBay unless you want to sell me directly. I plan on giving some of these to my local pro growers Jonas, Erik S, Peter T and Adam T.

Update. I bought the seedlings in June 2022 so they are closer to 2 year and in my care 1.5 years.

 

[snowman04]

I have about a dozen to work with this spring. Some are Mark Comstock and are ROR candidates... Looking forward to getting those moving along!

Thanks,kindly. Sounds wonderful…..I traded one for some seeds from Jonas once!!!

 

[cmeg1]

READY FOR SPRINGTIME!!

Looking nice.The certain offerings are Japanese Black pine seedling cuttings and the Siberian Elm air-layered starters.

Hopefully about 100 of the zelkova multi-trunk too.

The Pines are definately nice!
Bigtime rooting and vigor……currently on a low EC nutrient till’ planting out.

The Siberian Elms will be air-layered at the base…….most of them.Some will be just fine without air-layering.They will be very big in another 8 weeks for sure!!
They’re currently only at 3.5 weeks

The pines are only 17 weeks yet !!!

Looking forward to these! Always need more of these JBP.

Are you planning on selling Zelkovas that are single trunk? Or just the multi trunk?

 

[cmeg1]

Probably both…..some are straight,some are possible classic brooms,and some are total rejects and air-layered off for multi-trunk and some are prime material for multi-trunks and air-layered off!!
Lots to do for sure………I harvested thousand or so seed and have about 120 zelkova growing and plenty of time….these zelkova projects are best done in the growhouse so an annual thing…….

The multi-trunk are nice also….. look at the last photo.A project from a couple years ago. These are relatively easy and quick to make just a bit of work. I should have some of each for sure.

 

[cmeg1]

@NateDyk47
The Staight ones grow very predictabley with the lights and grow environment I use.
I usually end up air-layering them for better roots….. this may not be necessary since I now grow them in Stonewall, and the taproot is immediately trimmed off by the air with these!
This could be a timesaver because also in the little one and a half inch cube the stem is usually 3 to 4 times thicker and could make a very nice rootbase for sure.

At any rate, I fertilize all my plants in the grow house with a custom one to one ratio propagation formula. These will air layer, and take cuttings in less than two weeks guaranteed as they are prepared for this purpose……. it makes things so much easier with nutrient formula work while growing these crops.

 

[cmeg1]

I do apologize it seems as though I lead everybody on with my excitement for a Zelkova growing, but never get enough seed and I need an air conditioner for an entire summer crop which I do not have now, but I hope all my explanation on how to grow these …..people can get some seed to give it a go


I’m always so excited about plant growth. I never realize I talk it up so much. When I get enough money for a rather large air conditioner, I’ll grow an entire indoor crop of Zelkova over the summer. That would be truly fun and amazing.

For now, though, it’s Siberian elm and pine trees.
Indoors is the only place I can really do the amazing things with a Zelkova to get the results that really satisfy my efforts.

@cmeg1 I am a very happy owner of 6 of your JBP seedlings from ~3 years ago. I can't remember if this was discussed earlier in this (very long) thread, but do you have plans to do any JRP? I would definitely purchase some.

 

[milehigh_7]

@cmeg1 I’m going to start a thread in the propagation area and tag you. I have questions. Lol

 

[Srt8madness]

I was pretty upset I missed the last JBP sale. When will this one be kicking off?

Spring…….I did not have a sale last season .The growhouse was broken.

Thanks!
I will buy some for the next season co2 crop which is in winter.That way there is best chances to see a full genetic potential for the species.

I know it. I missed those $8 starters you had for a few days, however long back that was.

It's practically Spring in Texas
