Comments (2)your thoughts are tending to complicate the whole thing for a 3-4 foot plant .... in zone 5 ... as soon as the soil is workable .... say 4/1 .... dig new hole ... dig them up .. 2 foot rootball ... drag to new hole.. drop in.. water properly ... which might be once at planting.. and not again until june... walk away ... refill original hole... mulch well ... root pruning will only add multiple stresses to the plant.. just do it once and be done with it.. timing is everything and april is perfect ... 6 to 8 weeks of spring root growth before the heat of summer starts .... you are responsible for all water this summer .. and in drought next summer ... they should dry out between waterings .... insert finger or hand trowel to insure such ... do not amend the planting holes.. and no fert is necessary ... since you will be doing it at the right time.. even if all the soil falls off and they bare root themselves.. don't worry about it ... trust me.. i have no other option in my pure sand.. if you have clay .... just do it ... good luck ken...See MoreCan somebody identify this please?
Comments (14)in the original post in the shrub forum.. wherein i referred them to you gurus .. i said: it reminds me more of an arb.. that i have as Thuja occidentalis 'Golden Globe' aka 'Globosa Aurea' and one 'tell'.. is whether yours was ever sheared.. or if it is natural shape ... the one above.. grows in this shape.. all by its lonesome ... and you should be able to tell by sticking your head in it.. lol ... coloration varies thru the year ... so i dont know if yours is the yellow version ... but you might want to change the search at the link to ... Thuja occidentalis 'Globosa' good luck ken Thuja occidentalis Globosa Aurea .. natural shape.. never been sheared in my garden .. june 3rd 2011 coloration .. 3 to 4 feet .. get this.. lowes.. 2002 ... go figure.. lol .. one of the VERY FEW i bought at bigboxstore ... which means the name is probably wrong.. lol .....See MoreSeedlings Photos for a Change of Pace

Comments (8)Here you go Spruce. Photos showing preparation of Thuja hardwoods (Metasequoia had to be added/used to show this process). It's still the same. One note though: sometimes just stripping off a branch is all that is needed. Otherwise, shown, are a pair of scissors from 'The Dollar Store' being used (photos thanks to a friend). A cutting: Step two - also why scissors are easiest (as well as to collect the cuttings from the mother plants): Step three (removal of bark on a larger cutting): Removal of bark on a smaller cutting (see that the foliage has also been trimmed - this is a Metasequoia hardwood cutting which will only root as a hardwood during spring. Otherwise as a summer cutting [July 1] new growth must be used - and the same is true for Thuja) Rooted cuttings in Trademark Rootmaker Cells after they have been taken off mist: Water + Dip n' Grow rooting hormone at a rate of 1:6 respectively: A mist table for your seeing: *Note* Mist settings are adjusted to suit the weather. What you're trying to accomplish are cuttings not having large droplets of water on any of the leaf surfaces, and so the cuttings have a chance to dry, prior to the next mist. These photos are from a nursery in Ohio USA zone 5 (extreme summer heat and humidity) - this guy runs his system, averaging... a six second mist - every 6 minutes - from a 24-hour - wired clock. When the cuttings have rooted (you can lift the roots with a pocket knife to look), they go to a second mist bench... that mists the cuttings 6 seconds every hour, probably for a few weeks. I don't know exactly how long they stay on the second table. Then, they go down to the floor or are placed in a shade structure etc- and are kept watered. This process when began early spring allows for a chance to up-pot the cuttings to a large enough container, to gain enough root mass, to be overwintered successfully... (the same does apply to late June/early July cuttings) - again - in an extreme winter climate there will be enough time to establish enough of a root-system to make it thru the winter.
