Kinda quiet here lately, so I thought I'd post a couple of pictures of summer grafts. First 'Villa Taranto' from summer 09 Second shirasawanum 'Microphyllum' chip bud grafted summer 08, grew about 1 cm in 09. Looking stronger this year. My 'take' rate isn't great, but it is fun to see the successes leaf out. I brought some inside for an early spring in Iowa. Keith
Very nice little things, thanks for posting. But I find the level of the soil is very low : wouldn't it help to lift the rootball and add some more culture mix with more nuttrients in it ? I have a feeling tjhis might help them to thrive on...
Nice! Helps chase away the cabin fever to see these little things come to life. My summer grafting had a dismal success rate, by the way :(
AlainK I don't think the angle gives a good idea of pot size. The total depth is 20 cm. The soil depth is 16 cm or so I like a little head room, so I don't spill so much dirt in the house. Thanks all for nice comments. Next year there will be a lot more brought in in stages to fill the winter void. A horribly drab winter for us in IA. Keith
