one more thing Harry this tree looked like it was in good health when I first received it, the seller told me he had repotted it a year ago so I put in the green house and treated it as such, we had some really cold nights and some very warm days. This was my first jbp and I was not sure about...

I have access to several apricot and cherry trees, they are in the ground and trunk size ranges from four to eight inches, They are just getting ready to swell, some just budding out. They have been grown in loose soil so I think getting them out of the ground will not be two hard. I can tree...

94? Happy Birthday weekend Harry. Ninty four years? I can only hope to be still watering trees at that age.

Thank Harry I hope it lives through all this, the pot it came in was worth what I paid for the tree and the size of the trunk is what made me buy this ugly thing. It was a lot better looking when I first got it, we had a very cold winter and I made a few wrong decisions a long the way.

jbp I live in west Texas Harry. We had a hard winter but this tree was in a green house.

Walnut Oil Thanks Greg, I will give it a try.

I can spend all day watching Graham on youtube. On most all of his finished work the bark has a dark color. I am sure he uses a wax of some sort to bring out this rich color. I have planned on sending him a e-mail asking him but thought I would bring it up here first. I have attached a picture...
