It is a matter of when I have time to collect. I have a few hours to spare so I dug up one tree. All the leaves have fallen and the tree is already in dormancy. I am pretty sure that it will be OK.Fantastic!
Question: why collect going into dormancy as apposed to out of dormancy?
You guys are far more scientific minded than I am. For me, I now BCs grow from zone 6 to zone 11. They are capable of varying their dormancy period as needed. So for this tree, I know the tree is in dormancy so I dug it up and potted it. For other trees I might worry about having pruned roots in the ground too long before waking up. However, I have less concern with BCs because I think they can withstand longer than other species. For now, the tree will be kept and it will wake up whenever it is ready. I am not counting the days in dormancy.Question about BC dormancy. What is the required dormancy period for BC?
Thank you. I was just curious, I’ve been wanting to experiment with one of my tiny ones and see what I can do with one inside under my led lights. Here in NC they just finished going dormant. I was thinking giving it a month or dormancy then seeing how it responds indoors.You guys are far more scientific minded than I am. For me, I now BCs grow from zone 6 to zone 11.

Well BNutters.While I was away on vacation, I stared at a picture of this tree for a long time. Changes are forthcoming for this tree. It will be a lot shorter than it is right now.
man, i know this feeling. i had my girlfriend take a video call with my maples for me a few weeks after defoliationWhile I was away on vacation, I stared at a picture of this tree for a long time.
The trunk will never heal. Some of it will rot away until the tree reaches some sort of stasis with slow decay being matched with growth of new material.how long do you expect this wound to take to heal? any special aftercare for it?
