Hi Billy,

I'm not sure what your point is. Yes, many of the trees in the Pacific Rim
collection are in the three foot range. They also have a number of trees in
the 18 inch to two foot size range as well. The soil mix seems to be the
same for all.


I was trying to say that the larger particles of inorganic materials
you mentioned as making up the potting media for the Pacific Rim Collection
would be appropriate for larger trees but might not hold enough moisture for
smaller trees.
Also the climate of Pacific northwest is unique in this county and the
choice of potting media mixtures will depend upon many factors.
