    Pot suggestions for ROR Amur

    Pot suggestions for ROR Amur

    Thanks. I'm thinking that the rock pretty much takes up most of the current pot, so probably need something bigger? And given summers get pretty hot and dry around here shouldn't go too shallow. And lastly, Amurs have some nice red fall coloring so that's likely the driver for pot color.

    Thanks for the replies, my guess was elm too....although now Ryceman3's comment has me thinking as the leaves are definitely opposite as hopefully this photo shows. If nothing else time will tell as it gets larger.

    Help with seedling ID

    Hi, I found this one in the mulch ring around a Little leaf Linden, which clearly is not what this is. Thoughts on what it might be? Thanks in advance.
