My Mom's from Chicago! I'm all about KC sports though. Being a Chiefs fan and living in raiders/chargers country is no fun.
Anyways... I'm looking forward to see your Dawn Redwood forest progress!
Living in a "great rivalry" town can be a ton of fun...unless you're in the wrong town! I do root for the Chiefs...unless they play the Bears! I've been to a number of Royals games...but usually when they play the White Sox so I still have a hard time rooting for them!
On the forest, I have some concerns over this one At the end of the day, it might be too small of a pot for me to manage. I'm thinking the trims I did earlier might have been a mistake for as young as the sprouts are and the size pot they are in. And now I've cut back some even more! We'll see what survives...
I am VERY relieved my other forest survived! It doesn't look like much, but it's only a few years from seed itself. This was going to be the first year I tried to intentionally push it in a direction. After nearly killing it, I think I need to let it recover a bit. These things are weeds though!
I've started enough of these from seed and have enough larger trees that this one is really just stress relief I'll be sad if it dies...but mostly I'm just trying to push the limits of how small I can go! They're shaggy looking even at 3'+ so this will never be a show quality planting. But can I even keep it alive?!?
Thanks for your interest, by the way...much appreciated!
