Did you wrap any wire around it's roots inside the pot?Vitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05648727808256233855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31082363.post-38389302846440310442015-09-29T11:58:47.148+01:002015-09-29T11:58:47.148+01:00RR.

I find plenty of watering and additions of "Tomorite" liquid tomato fertiliser (it ain't just for tomatos) do wonders.<br /><br />Daughter:<br />Shame you can't grow one in your "new" garden. Couldn't you have one far away from the septic tank? Or is the tank taking up all the room in your half acre?<br /><br />RR:<br />I am non-plussed by the date, 16th December? (note the last comma, which was very nearly a hyphen)..... Oh! I get it (I think) Christmas tree substitute.Avushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16512540148378201058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31082363.post-64749548704302759892015-09-29T06:47:55.606+01:002015-09-29T06:47:55.606+01:00Poignant and persistent (that's you)... oh, an...Poignant and persistent (that's you)... oh, and living. The perfect reminder. Round about December 16 you could complete the memory bridge by hanging a cardboard cut-out of a bottle of Grange Hermitage on one of the lower branches.Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31082363.post-75716417586907888862015-09-28T21:58:54.131+01:002015-09-28T21:58:54.131+01:00Gorgeous trees, but with invasive roots, that dest...Gorgeous trees, but with invasive roots, that destroy septic tanks (so not one for our garden I fear).

One of the millions of weed ash seedlings that sew themselves willy-nilly round our place appears to have taken root in a confined space by the drive and to be bonsai-ing itself, I keep wondering if I can get it out and cultivate it. Trouble is I mostly kill things that live in pots.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09764296105901909328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31082363.post-87731730871250763802015-09-28T17:08:13.873+01:002015-09-28T17:08:13.873+01:00Tom:

Although I would dearly love to let it grow to blossoming size.<br />The only answer would be to install my own "Eden Project" type greenhouse in my small suburban garden - that might be a bit over the top.Avushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16512540148378201058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31082363.post-33945057252413404182015-09-28T14:29:50.120+01:002015-09-28T14:29:50.120+01:00There is such satisfaction when plants of any size...There is such satisfaction when plants of any size are persuaded to grow. However, a word of warning which I am certain you must have thought of already; that tree in Perth looks mighty big to be moving house twice a year, unless you are considering building it it's own house with removable roof. :)Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09028121782477111901noreply@blogger.com
