[IBC] Pinus Parviflora Adcocks Dwarf
Hi all;
Had a landscaper replace a number of the old trees in my yard with younger specimens. In the process he gave me a Adcocks Dwarf. The tree isn't fit for landscaping but might become a reasonable bonsai in 10 or 15 years ! It looks healthy, lots of green needles, in a 10 gallon growing pot. Just not a good landscape candidate It's about 36 inches tall and appears somewhat "literati", with the first branch being 18 inches up the 1 1/2 inch trunk. I'm wondering if there is some method of encouraging roots to form farther up the trunk. I was thinking about placing a second pot on top of the first, then performing some form of "air layer". Is this possible with this tree ? Thanks for any and all suggestions. Mark Hill - Harrisburg PA - Zone 6 (Ivan dropped 6 inches of rain on my trees last night !) ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by Evergreen Gardenworks++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?
