Had a great time collecting with
@Hartinez !!! He is a very skilled collector. I am very gracious for the lessons and techniques I have learned collecting with him! And we found some pretty awesome trees.
This is my first time with fall collecting but I’m going to give it a shot and protect these trees as needed through the winter. I also have a heat mat and am going to get some heat tape to experiment with.
Didn’t get the best photos but I snapped a couple quick ones on the repotting bench.
Englemann
(big) White Fir
Douglas Fir
Aspen
Also collected a Rocky Mountain Maple but didn’t snap a pic. Will be watching these trees closely! The conifers are planted in pure pumice, I just used a little “junk mix” on the top layer to even out the soil line because I was running short on pumice.
The aspen and RMM are in junk mix mixed with a little nursery mix for more water retention.
