WE HAVE ROOTS!!!

I have been anxiously staring into this tiny deli cup since I put it on and I finally found them!

So it looks like I will be able to play with a twin trunk Chinese Elm next year. Very excited for the root ball to fill up so I can seperate and pot it up. I know it's not all that impressive of a tree, but this is my first go and I'm just excited it worked. I feel like a druid :lol:

No signs of any life from the uncovered pots yet. The olive has tried to fruit, and the lily pily continues to grow from above the ring cut.

I think I might cover them up with glad wrap as Shibui suggested, see if that encourages anything.
