Hinoki- The power of feed!

[johnbaz]

Hi all

I got this tree in 2013, It wasn't in good shape, I repotted at some stage but never fared well until last year when I tried some Biogold that I got from Fleabay years ago!

This pic was taken on the 1st of April 2019, It looked like this since I got it!

This was the same tree on the 5th of august of the same year!!

I nreally couldn't believe the change so I bought a larger bag of the stuff and recently applied it to some other trees too!

Yup. Happy healthy trees.
Many people do not realize how unhealthy their trees are, untill they get one to become truely healthy. Especially conifers, but also people with Ficus and Chinese elms that are always indoors. "They grow well", meaning, a leaf every month. Put them outside and you will have new leaves every day.

Well done.

Hi John, I don't know if it is the weather here but BioGold made a huge difference for the better in all of my trees. Congrats for the healthy hinoki!

@johnbaz
What were you using before?

Sure it’s Chameocyparis? Looks more like a Thuja to me.

Nice tree regardless.

It could be as i've no idea!!, There wasn't a label on it when I got it and these types of evergreens confuse me!!

I used a small amount of the slow release feed (Miracle gro), They didn't really do anything much

Looks more like Thuja plicata.

I agree they get confusing, particularly IDing the different Thuja species.
