Spectacular! A lot of great character to work with. Nice acquisition!

I still have freezing temperatures and frost nights ahead so I’m in no hurry to see lots of bud development….especially on frost sensitive trees. I’ve had freezing temperatures and snow at the end of May.

I don’t know the answer so just asking…so just in case I ever find an Aspen…..Does Aspen back bud a lot on the trunk and branches?

I’m a zone 6 and trees are just beginning to wake up. My temperatures are still cold in the evening and only in the 40s or low 50 daytime. You might be similar. I don’t usually see full opening until mid to late May. American Elms are just beginning to open buds but still slowly as temperatures...

I’m looking forward to reading about, and seeing photos, of your progress. If my tree, I’d concentrate fully on tightening up, bulking up, the canopy. My memory of Aspens is that the trees are more open, lighter, in appearance so not to bulked-up. I wouldn’t worry to much about other aspects as...

The Elephant foot tree bases are a phenomenal development and look fabulous. And the trees are still at a young age. Well done on all of the trees! Very impressive documentation along the growth trail. Mighty fine!

Your approach and philosophy are great qualities. And, it shows well in your trees and comments.

For reference in future wiring….avoid overlapping wire and apply the wire at more of an angle (45 degrees I believe….less like a spring).

Mighty fine tree for sure! The gnarly features are fantastic. I admire your patience and ability to step back and imagine many interesting possibilities.

Cool! I didn’t know that. I've only read about Beaver trapping in early frontier books.

Surprise the HOA and construct something that swaggers like it was built on Gilligan's Island.

Do people still trap Beaver? Or did that end in the late 1800s.

Well that’s a first to me. I never figured Beavers …..is this right by the water? I think….that I see water on the upper third of your photo.

Okay…that word I had to look up……Prophylactically: to prevent disease or the possibility of disease.

Mighty fine! ……And, I hope you don’t outgrow the space to quickly.

Excellent glazing and color utilization in my opinion.

Fabulous work on the Lilac! Mighty fine indeed. I think I’d be an oddball and reach for a pot of contrasting color. My first impression was a yellow or orange pot. The contrast with the flowers would be mighty fine. However…I really do like the pot shown in this photo you posted. It can work...

If, when, I get leaf galls, I remove the leases affected immediately and dispose of the leaves in the trash. The gall is a protective Wrap produced to protect the eggs. I don’t take chances…I remove the leaves. The Elm trees always grows back with a new leaf or branch where the removal happened...

The tree seems to back-bud really well giving lots of ongoing choices and opportunities.

Well done! These maples are always fascinating to watch and witness their opening and spring development. My preference is to keep roots well covered for best growth.

Nice progress happening.

Excellent start. Nice compact images.

The tree has a good root spread. Nice start to work with.

No update. The tree must have landed on the scrappy tree shelf….or just scrapped. I hope that your cuttings take well. I have seen these trees display interesting varied multi-color leaves in the autumn.
