Re: [Natural] Eucalyptus parvifolia -Sno
Thanks Rory . This tree was bare rooted completely around the time of the original post . The roots were spread out and wired indivusualy to the base of a ' nursery flat ' ( or seedling tray ) the top was cut back a little . It sulked for a couple of weeks while it was recovering on a gravel bed with gradually increasing morning sun . At the time we had that aggressive summer thing happening .
After it recovered it went into full sun on a gravel bed . The roots have started to escape into the gravel bed since . It had some wire put on it at the beginning but I intend to grow it out for the comp using the top as a sacrifice while I train a lower branch to be the final tree . I intend to leave it in the nursery flat for the duration of the comp to try and not slow its growth down , it has to come off the gavel bed soon before it freezes and it shuts down for the winter . I need to take a better photo of the tree .

Re: [Natural] Eucalyptus parvifolia -Sno
This was sheltered for the winter but is now back out in full sun on a gravel bed . The roots that were escaping in autumn were cut off and today I noticed that they are escaping again .

Nice Sno. Those gravel trays look to be a good way to go... if you have the space!

Re: [Natural] Eucalyptus parvifolia -Sno
Hi R3 the gravel beds work a treat , they actually save space because I can grow them in a smaller container and let the roots run over summer . They work well with ‘pond pots ‘ . I can’t use them over winter because they freeze solid and the trees don’t like that .

Re: [Natural] Eucalyptus parvifolia -Sno
This photo makes me wish I'd made the comp 5 years. I'll have to ask Steven if we can do a follow up 3 year refine comp for this Natural comp, as that needs more time, beautiful start there Sno.

Re: [Natural] Eucalyptus parvifolia -Sno
Hi Sno,
Nice progression.
I started one for this comp although I have not updated. I have trouble with curl grubs and leaf beetle larva and as a result have not put on as much wood as yours.
Yours is looking to be a good start.
Regards,
Peter

Re: [Natural] Eucalyptus parvifolia -Sno
Thanks BB
Tree selection is all part of the comp so it’s all fair in love and war . At the time of the start of this comp these trees were all I had lying around and in the middle of a drought with water becoming an issue I didn’t want to get any more trees ( that’s my excuse anyway ) . Hopefully all these trees in the comp will be updated long after this comp has finished .

*ahem*
Update your entries please Sno.
The cut-off date is a guideline, not an exact rule. I hope you are well mate.

It’s been raining all week and the earth was rumbling beneath my feet but I managed to snap a few shots .
And the earth actually did rumble .

As you can see there has been no change which to me is quite interesting in itself . And the earth actually did rumble .
