Default [IBC] Hooray!

The sun's out, trees are blooming; can spring be far behind?

First time in 5 days we've even seen a _hint_ of the sun. Skies
are blue and almost cloudless today. It's 65 instead of 45.

Japanese plum is in full bloom in the yard. Red maples (Acer
rubrum) are blooming in the swamp.

I can at least START to think of spring. (We're knee deep in
mud, which is even more spring-like.)

Will start repotting next week sometime.

Hooray!

Lucky You Jim !!

6 inches of snow have fallen in central PA today, but the temp is currently
35 F.
We've gone through periods of rain and snow all day long.
Hopefully the rain will win out and I'll be able to find my car in the snow
bank later tonight !!

A pox on all of you! We are headed for a year's record of snowfall & low
temperatures. The kids & dogs are stir-crazy, & I got stuck in the snow a block
from my house. If 'Chojubai' blooms, which it is threatening to do, I will
swoon.

Hmmm.

Tuesday saw us with 41c and half my trees are burnt and crisped?
Think I would love a little snow about now. Not that we ever get any :-(

Gee, I started some Pomegranate seedlings last year. I think every one
I planted came up. They did well all Summer and Fall, then started
showing signs of dormancy around November so I overwintered in my cold
garage. I just brought them into my house last week and placed in a
South window .... and "hooray", every one of them is pushing new growth
already.

Outside temps are still well below freezing and we had the biggest snow
storm of the season yesterday which left 10-12 inches of snow on the
ground. But, somehow, just seeing my Pomegranates coming back is enough
to help fight off the cabin fever.

I've got these trees in four inch pots at the moment. I'd like to
repot, but only to trim off the tap root and spread the root pad out a
bit. Is that something I can do now, or should I wait until they have a
chance to fill out a bit first? None of them has any leaves just yet,
but the buds are starting to break.

Thanks,

That's just the stage to go for a repot. I found that mine did not
produce a significant tap root but had many fine surface roots. This is
the time to rearrange them removing any crossing ones that can't be
untangled and any higher than the new soil line.

Make sure you keep them protected after the repot and water thoroughly
then leave 'till they start to dry out. They should get moving soon and
water requirements will return to normal.

I'd wait until you can get them outside after the operation.
They'll recuperate better outdoors.
