[IBC] Yesterday Yamadori
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 http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...CN5313_web.jpg http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...CN5319_web.jpg http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...CN5320_web.jpg http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...CN5354_web.jpg ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by John Romano++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?

Michel,
Looks like you are off to a good start with the Thuja. It seems to have a lot of fine roots; I imagine it should survive without much problem. Nice tree. Regards, Roger Snipes Spokane, WA.
