Plants seem pretty happy, but look at all that unused space! You need to do more collecting

What's that giant, triple-trunked thing on the right side of picture 2 in post 1?

A lot of lush green potential! And a lot of work...how many hours does it take to water them all? I seen the rosemary you mentioned takes a tumble in the wind.

I should right?

It is a my biggest boxwood. At least 2 airlayer in it's future then some grafts before I chop it down.

The big rooted tree in back that looks like a face with a big nose...can I see a closer up photo of that one! It looked interesting...it's sitting on a blue tub. Towards the back right corner.

About 20 minutes. Not that much time really.

Those rosemary are for cooking so I just let them linger. We have several in the ground that are much healthier.

At least you don't have to worry about mowing the lawn.

The zoning department wanting you to get a nursery permit may be a worry though ...

This cat's claw exposed root?

The lawn, once it starts growing is a pain. My wife wants me to move each pot on the ground!

Nursery permit? I hope not!

Nice garden! You must use tons of akadama XD

Hush! My plants might hear you and stop growing!

thats what i was thinking: who trims all the grass around those?

Seems you are walking ruts into grass and the stuff under the pots will be dead. Might as well truck in the mulch. That can't be worse than dead grass as far as a land lord is concerned. I mean, there is fair use, but that is pushing the line

I do the trimming. .... I am the landlord.

That's the biggest boxwood I've ever seen! There is no way you brought that home in the trunk of your car. Very nice material indeed.

But I did! It was taller and the root ball was much bigger then actually. This is the trimmed version.

Very cool, there's some really great looking trunks and trees in there.

I don't see how you are able to keep up on that many, I have enough trouble trying to keep 8 trees alive But they all sure look happy so you obviously have no issue doing it.

I was about to ask the same question about what the triple trunk tree was but see someone else did. So how old do you think that boxwood actually is? that thing is a monster.

You see the boxwood next to it at the shelf? I was told that one is about 45 years old. I honestly do not have any idea how old the big one is.

There are 2 other boxwood collected at the same time/place as this one mixed in the pics. They are smaller but at least 3 feet tall still (they got chopped back harder on site).

Check pix #3 of post #2...one is on the shelf at left and the other is on the ground hiding behind an olive before the cypress.
