The homeowners are going to give it a few weeks for the pressure treated to dry a little then stain and seal it.
One more day and she’s done. Just the step down left to go.

Nice looking bougie cutting. I don't know if it'll be full of roots by October but you should have a good start. Florida is probably one of the best climates for them so you should be good! If possible, I'd recommend adding in some screws on all of the corners of the box. I think with the continual watering your glue will break down over time. It's a little bit of belt and suspenders but last thing you want is a side breaking off spilling all your soil.View attachment 489951
Biggest bougie chunker yet, first sloppy growbox, glued it together and stapled mesh to the bottom, hopefully it's full of roots by october
Speaking of bougies, the one on the side of my house is getting out of control so I might have to take some cuttings of my own

good pointers, I think i'll add some screws once it leaves the greenhouse in September-october and it has roots because I dont want to disturb it. So far my bougie cuttings have been rooting in less than 3 weeks and thriving in less than 6 so I'm optimistic right now.
i used some 2x2, stapled the mesh to the bottom, then placed the wider flooring boards (oak) on the inside and tapped it into place, so it's pretty mechanically snug+the glue, but last thing I want is to ruin a nice cutting.
IMO it's going to be my most interesting bougie piece so far because of the split trunk and exposed veins, I shoulda taken photos before I planted it.
I'm keeping it in the greenhouse shelf until at least September though and I'm gonna avoid tampering with it at all.
First timer stuff, that's why I post and ask! lol

go to town on those bougie branches. Ive been getting great results from thick branch cuttings that are less than 5 inches long. You basically have a chunky bougie farm right there.Nice looking bougie cutting. I don't know if it'll be full of roots by October but you should have a good start.

3 new successfully rooted tiger barks, the little 3 in the front (i know, they are extremely easy to root) these were cut off mother tree less than 2 weeks ago.
Put them in these 6 inch training pots I got on amazon today, 20 pots for $18.99. ~80% perlite, 20% cocopeat. the 3 bigger bros in the back. I got 1 more in the greenhouse left to root then I'm doing more as I reduce the upper branches of my bigger tigerbark momma.

Another volunteer day at Clark Collection.
Helped thin out a needle juniper forest (ouch)
Cut back lots of deciduous trees prior to expect triple digit heat soon......
Some more than others..

Some of the historically interesting trees in this collection:
Ernie Kuo California juniper, on loan from the National Arboretum collection. Surprised to find inter collection loans, including from the Huntington
Harry Hirao San Jose juniper
