Mmmm! Stem griddled roots!
Doesn't that sound like something good to eat for breakfast? Fry them up with onions and tatters and serve with butter and Romano cheese!!! Yum, yum!!!! "Treedweller" wrote in message ...

For example, when root pruning houseplants to keep in the same sized pot, the top of the plant is pruned to accomodate the diminished roots. Newt I can't say I've done the experiments, but I've been to classes and read industry publications stating that you should not prune the top of a transplant until the bottom has a chance to get established. Myabe houseplants are different than trees, maybe you've both fallen victim to an old myth, or maybe the current industry-produced research is wrong. I leave it to you to decide, but I won't prune the tops of trees to compensate for root loss. Keith Babberney ISA Certified Arborist ISA Certified Tree Worker/Climber Specialist |
