My Common Hazel
Succesful 2010 spring yamadori. Strategy: Leave all branches down to the 3 last buds and leave it to grow.
6 Limes
Got 6 Limes at a bargain from Plantasjen late autumn last year. They have been tourniquted and stuck down into one and same pot for thickening.
Pine Development
The pine is growing really strong this year. By pinching the strongest candles when the needles elongate, and doing the same with weaker parts of the tree a couple of weeks later, the backbudding plan is continued. Less water, much sun and no fertilizer until the new needles are fully out.
Spanish Fir seedlings with a Berberis cutling
Two seedlings from the christmas tree sowing i did last winter. Also this Berberis stick was standing beside them and ended up in the same pot.
