Does anyone know who made this pot?

I suppose it could be "HJ" as well.

Had this pot for years and don't remember where I got it. Can anyone tell me who the maker may be. Looks like the mark is "HV" but if you turn it over perhaps "AH" with no cross bar on the A.

Yes, the pot is warped.

For reference this is what the rectangular planting looked like in April2018.

Thank you for asking. Attached are photos taken today. As you can see I used the hemlock to create two forest plantings. Miniature azalea to mimic rhododendrons that you will find in the hemlock forest areas of North Carolina. The rectangular pot is 21" across, tallest tree 24". Round pot...

When I see green pine needles dropping when I touch a tree I immediately think of sawfly worms. Look at the needles, if they are dropping with the sheath attached then it likely isn't sawfly, if they are dropping leaving a little stub on the branches then you have sawfly working on your trees...

Nope, It didn't make it. I did too much all at the same time. Should have taken more time between steps, like a couple of years instead of one session.

That is a standard bamboo chopstick on the table in front of the pot.

I would like to enter the drawing. Many thanks for doing this.

If all you are after is salicylic acid, why not dissolve an asprin tablet in a quart of water or some other amount of water. That would be a cheep way to get some.

Thank you. For scale, that is a standard bamboo chopstick stuck in the pot.

Have you tried defoliateing to reduce the leaf size?

Add a Hackberry to the mix.

There will be more next year.

A web search brings up all kinds of "backcountry". Can you be a little more specific as to what you are refering to?

If you check into it you'll find that on the same day a year earlier planes were grounded because the air was to hot for them to develop needed lift. It's nothing new, simple airplane saftey precautions.

I have apparently missed something. What is "Sulfur substrate treatment" and where can I read up on it?

Thanks for the heads up Vance. I'd welcome the target rich environment. One of my long time heros, General Chesty Puller was in the Chosin Reservor during the Korean War. Funny that, in the Corps we called it the Frozen Chosin. Anyway, when told that they were completely surrounded by the...

The fact that you replied and completely understand the point of my post says it all. No one knows what the climate will bring tomorrow much less in a month or a year. Al Gore is famous for having said around 2005 that the oceans would all dry up by 2015 and now won't respond to questions...

Ask one of your experts in a given field what the temperature will be, high and low, on this day next month. Let us know what they tell you.

Bonsai?

It's an art, nothing more, nothing less.

I dug up three hemlock in the mountains of Virginia yesterday. Raining. Still raining today. I dug a plug 8-12" in diameter with the tree centered in the plugs. Trunk diameter 1" and 3/4", 18" to 30" tall. Put them in plastic bags and got back home after dark, sill raining. Left them...
