I have a root cutting from a cork bark elm that I turned upside down for taper. It has grown just fine. The bottom of the trunk was a chunk of root sawed from a large root.

Here is a small Wakaebisu azalea, about ten or eleven inches tall, almost completely bloomed. I like the color of these flowers, plus it is a strong tree. The apex was broken off in a 100 mph wind storm several years ago. Since then I have been rebuilding the top but it’s still a little thin up...

I use a product called MoleMax - it’s a repellant for all rodents made from castor oil. I had issues before but not since I started using it. I’ve used it for about 5-6 years now.

You will need to cut the top back eventually. It looks a little thick up there. Seems like cork bark elms will shed lower branches when the top gets too heavy.

We adopted two six month old rescue pups this spring. Simon is a red heeler/shepherd mix and Nina is a pit bull/ black lab mix. Simon was several days from being euthanized when he was rescued. They are great dogs, smart and loads of fun.

Nothing better than a Viking funeral.

Glad to see you are doing well.

Did you wire it into the pot ? If you didn’t, you should.

I don’t think anyone has mentioned that if you remove all sources of food, your rodent problems go away pretty quickly. Check and make sure there’s no garbage, bird food, or grain crops that they have access to.

It’s red - Crimson Pygmy is the variety.

Start another thread FFS. Do you ever wonder why people block you ?

No I just found it one day walking through a nursery. I think it might be grown by Iseli Nursery

This was a $3 nursery tree. Tamarack is basically the same thing and grows in New York. You could collect one for free.

Russian larch or Siberian larch. Larix Sibirica.

Starting to lose it but still looking nice
