Mine are still alive and well. One of them was a little slow to wake up from winter but finally did. I had a little die back on the pokomoke but that's pretty normal. They were put into mame pots last year and I now have those pots sitting in slightly larger pots to let the roots escape. Seems to work pretty well.

Trident maple air-layer. I am still not sure this will fit into the mame size requirements, and I don't want to try to force it for the sake of a contest. But here it is, for better or worse. I am trying to push the foliage closer to the trunk, and will probably cut it back further this fall. Before and after defoliation.

My ginkgo is the only one to survive the Winter/ cold wet Spring. Root rot got the others.
I'm glad :mad: I'm not the only one. My two made it through the long winter inside, which you would think would be the hard part. I suspect mine succumbed to the same fate as yours.

All carmona died. Just no luck with those.
The only one I have left is the willow leaf ficus and not a lot has changed from the original post. I almost lost it twice.
Growing roots but not a lot of top action yet.

2. Key lime is struggling since I trimmed the roots last fall. It’s limping along

I repotted the the first 2 yesterday into Mame size pots and wish I had swapped the pots in hind sight. If they survive I think I'll switch next year.
1- Serissa was growing like crazy and cut back hard.

2- Willow lief Ficus has been struggling but seems to be coming around.

Not trying to be a dick
I think it was also about the same time as when i first joined the site. So it must've got lost in all the information i flooded my mind with while i was learning all about any tree i could lay my hands on.
