Pruning cherry tree
Published (2009-11-14 17:08:00)
It wasn't my first choice to pollard it, as we wanted the bloom but the trees were outgrowing their footprint on a Strata property...and we would have had to take a lot out if we started that. Plus replace them. I know all the arguments, but we have quite a few of them and I wanted to see if the landscaper was right... I won't know for several years for sure! No, they don't look natural, I agree.

Shortened lifespans resulting from excessive pruning not necessarily apparent in early stages. Apart from that, how normal or good specimens so handled look depends on who is doing the looking.

Leaf drop should not be happening. When a citrus tree experiences a large leaf drop, the tree knowing that something is very wrong and can possibly die, tries to insure the production of another generation by producing a lot of blooms. Leaf drop and then the production of a lot of blossoms is not a good sigh. Your tree must be experiencing Winter leaf drop (WLD). There is a lot of information on WLD on this forum, use the word WLD in the...

Could I stake the stem somehow so that when we do get a strong wind, at least it doesn't break? I understand the stem is almost entirely water, so how would I do this so I don't damage it?

Hi Jack, glad to hear you want to try out bonsai. Bonsai was my first gardening experience as well. I had juniper seeds which never sprouted :(. My advice would be to let mother nature do her thing with your maple seeds. Toss them out in an area where you can let them grow for a while and put some dirt over them. The winter will take care of the stratification process for you. If ...

Hey Dana, Interesting article. I was aware of the estrogen-like chemical in soy and as a man have never wanted to consume a lot of soy because of it. I moved your post here to Plants in the News . I also reduced it to a teaser quote and a link to the article. I am not sure of the copyright rules, but I don't think we are supposed to repost entire articles. I will clarify with Daniel.

You could always put an evergreen in its own pot in the soil in the container and move it in the spring. Something like flowering Kale will be colourful but I find they smell later on and they will use up the soil in the containers too.

I would wait until it's warmer and the days are longer. I am growing it for the first time this year. It apparently takes a year before you are harvesting more ginger. I took a chunk of ginger from my kitchen that seemed to be forming a little green node and plunked it into some soil/peat/manure in a large container in my greenhouse this summer. It loved it and grew into a plant with many ...

Citrus grow thorns for the most part, there is no rose stock. To my knowledge I don't think its possible to graft onto rose, or other plant species? Citrus can bloom at any time really. I always have some in bloom at some point throughout the year.

Hi fantasia, welcome to the forum. Likely normal leaf drop, maybe a little premature because of a location change. It's best not to mound up any more soil around the trunk than the level it was already growing at in the pot. nor have the straw up against the trunk. Sounds like your husband is just protecting it for the winter and thinking of moving it later.

These are notoriously difficult to transplant, so despite your best efforts you may or may not have success. That being said, dig with a generous root ball and pot it now, and hope for the best. One bit of advice: plant the division into a paper pot, and when it comes time to replant, cut slits in the pot sides and plant the entire pot in the new site, thus minimizing root disturbance.
