Hi,



Here are pictures of my 45Y/O thuya occidentalis. I know the age because the
house's owner told me she planted it in 1960, when she builded the house,
and I supposes the tree was 5 Y/O.



She gave it to me and the other one on its left on the 1st picture and I
will plant a "more nice" fruit tree!



I planted it in a strong plastic pot use for cement mixing. thank you Jim
for the Idea!!! :-)



The soil, which is the result of all your commentaries (thank you!), is 70%
akadama and 30% stones. 7mm. A 2 inches of 9mm drainage layer was put on the
bottom. I didn't touch the rootball at all.



I am pretty confident it will survive because of the rootball wich is strong
and healthy. And thank you SuperThrives! :-)



Michel
