Yes thats the one I use. There are a lot of opinion on when to apply the Lime. I have found dry wood accepts the application better. Plus as I said less chance of it being drawn in by the sap flow.daiviet_nguyen wrote:Hi Pup,
Thank you for the instructions on lime sulphur. I have read Mr. Craig Coussins,
and I have been under the impression that we should apply straight-away. But
your explanations make more sense.
This is the lime sulphur that I bought and used:

Do you use the same one too Pup?
Thank you and best regards.

what you need now is either a Chivers regal or a Glenfiddich chaser

No No No the tree is great. Kilkenny is like velvet + and M'callans is superb.

Re: What can be achieved quick time
Here is an update on this tree. It is now in its show pot and I am now getting it ready for the AABC show in May 2011.
The first pics are after re potting then some after a bit of tweaking. Double a battery for size.
The tree will be tilted to the right slightly, and also moved to the right. Next potting in September next year. If it grows well may be March next year.

Re: What can be acheived quick time
Good stuff on the find. And you are too bloody right. We organise nursery crawls for our club of mainly new chums and it is so hard to get them to buy decent stock. They want cheap. And charming H spent $10 on a dead straight nandine - he liked it. It is just not worth it tho I hammer the point constantly.
Mind you, Charming Charlie who would not buy above $25 on our first nursery crawl has GPSed his way to Leongs and come back with a $100 tree and a $75 tree so some can be converted. But generally.... newcomers are slow to open the purse strings.

Re: What can be acheived quick time
In defence of cheap newcomers, I am one too :
Firstly, we would rather not spend a small fortune on something we are likely to kill or otherwise ruin anyway.
Secondly, we have not yet reached the level of addiction where a new tree is more important than, say, fixing the brakes on the car...
I enjoy the challenge of propagation, and finding my own material too. I do it with herbs (my main passion) all the time, trees are generally harder than the things I work with, but it is fascinating to learn the skills.

If you are not killing plants, then you are not extending yourself as a gardener..

Re: What can be acheived quick time
Speaking as a bit of a newbie on buying stock, I'm more than happy to spend a bit more decent trees, and I'm pretty confident I can keep trees alive now =P
My gf sometimes doesn't approve of the expensive stock though! I just have to go the nursery on my own and not tell her the costs =)

Re: What can be acheived quick time
Try and make her believe you really want that $250 one then it will seem much more logical when you settle on the $125 you actually wanted from the start...silly ploy but it might work for you!
I have a slightly different problem, can buy whatever I like for as much as I like...but having absolutely no spending money all the time kinda limits that freedom

Re: What can be acheived quick time
I think the point was, don't spend heaps of money but spend it wisely! $30 isn't a lot, but this tree had potential, and Pup had the eye to see it, and the skill to bring it out!

Re: What can be acheived quick time
When you are on a nursery crawl with experianced grower's and asking for advice.
Do you take it or as in most cases buy pretty. Then bring it along to workshops and ask what to do. Well if they ask me they get told.
The idea is if you ask us how we got that tree or this tree, we usually say, then we explain that if you buy decent stock to start with.
You will get decent tree's. If you just want pretty fine, but dont ask what to do with it.
Cheers Pup

Re: What can be acheived quick time
love this plant pup!
I agree with all you guys saying that junipers can be better a lot of the time as informal upright even if they do have a huge branch that cascades down the side. I just start thinking that its not there and if theres no other option as an upright I look at a cascede.
