nice crop of E. deb's. Are you planning to separate them and do a mass planting? This will be a nice test for your area.

A few photos of some seedlings taken 2 minutes ago LOL. 😆

I think I need a bigger yard!

Both of you guys need acreage. 😛
Well done.

I'm down to two pomegranates, not sure how to grow these except full sun.
Pinched off the bottom leaves to get more of a "standard" look with a trunk for a future patio pot.
Any hints of what fertilizer is best for poms?

Good idea Cameron with Part II of the topic.

Noticed that the brownish tips on the Jubaea seedlings are the sheath for the first leaf.

And here's the Pomegranate that germinated this winter.

Nice Pomy Barb. I like your idea of creating a standard out of it. I'll proably do the same with some of the Crape Myrtles I have.

Thanks Tim.

Standards take up so little space on a patio, plus it's fun to do and looks good in containers.
Crape myrtles would be stunning trained to standards.

Noticed at nurseries standards are always so much more expensive than the same plant in a bush version.

Jubaea chilensis (blue) pushing second leaf:

In a "jury-rigged" 12-inch pot.
What pot size should I now go to? 😕

You have a nice Jubaea there for its first year Barb already working on its second leaf. I think you can leave it in that size pot for 1-2 more years as it probabbly only has 1-2 roots so far. I have 3 year old Jubaeas in a 4inch wide by 14inc tall pot and they are still doing well.

Dylan

Great shots Barb & Tim! I will post some updated pics soon 😆

Thanks Dylan for confirming I can leave it in the 12 inch homemade pot.
I see a white root at the drain hole so was wondering.

Can you post a pic of your 4-inch x 14-inch pot?
Have never seen any.

Cameron, look forward to seeing seedling updates, especially the Nannorhops ritchiana.
Mine croaked 😥

Barb

Barb here is the link to the site I got mine from. They have a wide variety of different size pots and accessories including pictures of them. http://www.stuewe.com/products/treepots.php

Thanks for that great link Dylan.
Will try to find a Canadian supplier as they'd probably arrive as confetti across the border.

I had previously searched for "palm seedling pots".
See now that the search term should've been "tree pots", which makes sense.

Barb, Dylan has posted a great link there. I have contacted Stuewe regarding ordering in the past, and even including shipping their prices still beat any here in Canada (for the quantity of pots I was looking for at least 😆 ).

The tall pots have been working out well for my seedling cycads and palms. They require less frequent irrigation for young plants as well as taking up much less space. I got some of the crates designed for their pots so that the seedlings are easy to store and don't tip over.

When I first glanced at this I thought it said Bob Dylan 🙂
