[IBC] The BIG experiment
Here it is, full summer in steamy hot sunny north Florida and
I've been transplanting dozens of trees. Lots of luck, Jim. :-( BUT . . . we're about to have a lot of work done on our house (an entire wall replaced, windows, sliding doors, etc., lots of siding, roof work, etc.) and I have to move all the plants in my grow boxes, which were lined near the side of the house where all the siding needs replacing (CAUSE & EFFECT!) So, yesterday I transplanted a dozen red maples (A. rubrum), 20 bald cypress cuttings (some grown to 2 feet now), several button bush (NOT bottonwood, but Cephalanthus occidentalis), scores of U. parvifolia, twice that many privet cuttings,etc. etc. etc. into pots and distributed them around my garden out of reach of the clumsy feet of carpenters. I have one more 2x2 grow box to go tomorrow. We'll see how this hot-weather repotting goes. All of them were cut back severely, and all are placed in deep shade where they get misted every day by my auto-watering system. It really, really doesn't matter because I have all the trees I can handle already, but . . . THEY WERE THERE.
