Thank you sir!. This tree is as vigorous of a grower as I've ever seen. It continues to break buds in various places all over. Several times a year, I have to knock off new shoots. The first 2 years in sent out shoots 4 to 5 feet long. I didn't let them get that long last year and won't from here on in. The first 2 years let them elongate to help the tree get established. it's there now. Thanks for commenting!!!
From that angle, it appears to have 1 trunk. Actually there are 4 all entertwined. In the ground before cut back and digging, that thing was about 12 feet tall with several shoots 20 feet up in a pine. It had a 30 foot diameter[roughly] footprint. Thanks for commenting!
Thank you Judy. There is only one thing wrong with large trees......pots cost like crazy. But I'm crazy about big trees and so, I'll have to save awhile longer. I have a number of big ones, one can be seen to the side of the Banksia, it's a 4 footer. A collected Phitzer juniper that I've had for 28 years or so. Thanks again!!
Thank you Sir!!! I agree, I enjoy looking at good trees whether they are in bonsai pots or not. The nice pots are icing on the cake though.
Thanks much for commenting!! Those little purple monsters are the dwarf Japanese alpine violet. Many years ago, one plant of it came home in another nursery plant, now I have hundreds of them. They come up in many pots but can't get the confounded things to grow in the ground. Strange! If they weren't so darned pretty, I'd be tempted to take a flamethrower to them! Not really, but they really like my area. Thanks again!Very nice tree, and nice contrasting purple accent plants
LOL...............Thank you Sir!!!
Thank you Sir ! It's certainly one of mine!
Yeah I feel you, I have 4 really large pots, and they are hard and expensive to find. I do like working with Randy Doughty, bent pine pottery, he's affordable and a makes a great pot. He made the pot that my big trident got moved into this year.
