Imperial Masterpiece
ive killed nearly every Beech ive worked on.ive repotted them in spring and left decent roots on and theyve still not survived. i repotted one in jan and its still alive, but been in a grow bed for nearly two years now, that one is a keeper all my others have perished!
anyway i was out at one of my places today and theres a few that have been out in the fields for maybe 2 or 3 years now all were planted from nursery stock to sell as hedging. in a week or so they will go out there with a digger and pull everything up!
i was allowed to go out in the field and dig one up myself for, he only charged me £10 for this piece of material, i thought what the hell, ill try another!
i didnt get as much root as i liked though, they usually get more root with the diggers as they get right under the rootball, next time ill bring my rootslayer and see how that does...
ive planted the entire rootball in with spagnum moss.took ages to nibble away at it with knob cuttersand get it flat enough to go in this pot.theres a few feeder roots here n there but ive killed them before with more feeders roots on.ive potted one before in jan and used a bit of spagnum moss on the roots though so will see if that is the trick...
this will go in a greenhouse now will be watered in with some fish emulsion, that reminds me i must get some more sea weed tonic!
