2-stage grafted persimmon not leafed out after planting bare-root
Comments (12)Like someone else mentioned, persimmons often start really slowly. I think it is mostly because of the tap root. I bought a Garretson persimmon as a bare root and it barely survived. It just sat there and didn't really grow. The leaves were small and I told the nursery ( One Green World ) that I thought it had a virus. They said, "No, that's just the way they grow from bare root." It also looked as if it were doing nothing the next year. This year (3rd year), it finally has full-sized leaves and it fruited! They were right! The tree looks healthy and is doing great! I bought an Early Golden in a pot and it didn't have this transition. I planted it last fall and it is already fruiting. It was a large holdover on sale, and I got a screaming deal. It has about 7 fruits on it. I think the bare rooted one will, over time, be healthier, more drought resistant and have more minerals and flavor because it is drawing its nutrition from deeper in the soil base. It does take a bit longer to grow though. JOhn S PDX OR...See MoreGrafted bare roots, bud union & containers
Comments (2)I try to plant roses in pot (if I pot up grafted roses) so the bud union is buried in the hope that they would go own root. I do not always have big enough pots or my estimate was bad, and sometimes the roots push up the top, meaning the bud union will show over the soil line. That signals that I better find a bigger pot or plant the rose in the ground. I usually pot up those roses that didn't perform well in the ground and in some cases pot culture provided surprisingly good results (Ena Harkness comes to mind). Other categories that get potted 1.) Roses that are too small to be planted in the ground to begin with, like bands. Most of these plants I grew in 1 or 2- gallon pots for a while but after transplanting them in the ground they still stop growing, lose canes; that is, they get stunted. (This is the source of my discontent with bands that are quite expensive with astronomical shipping cost attached and then they require years of intensive care. Surprisingly, I have much better luck with cuttings that I rooted. I could never figure out why. But trading cuttings became less and less offered due to some kind of protectionism. But why bother with bands if I can get huge bareroots for less and they perform as soon as they are planted?) But Âbands are not fashionable in Europe so this will not be a problem for you. 2.) Roses I wanted to have but had no idea where to plant them. Some of these were Austins. My experience is that if these Austins were destined to become big plants, they didn't like pots probably because it is difficult to give them enough food or monitor them so often one should. Austins are heavy feeders IMHO, so in pots they need more attention. Consequently Falstaff, Pat Austin and a few others look miserable in pots although they are planted in huge pots. 3.) Roses that should be moved around to avoid discoloration or scorching of the blooms, like Francis Dubreuil that crisps up even in morning sun and Lady Hillingdon that bleaches out in full sun except in early spring and late fall. But LH is not happy in her pot. I intend to overview this pot culture Âthing this winter-spring and switch quite a number of plants: biggies get planted in the ground or will be given away while compact plants with great fragrance will occupy pots. Having said all that, I ordered Pretty Jessica with the intention to keep her in a pot. Jubilee Celebration also looks like a rose that would be nice in pot. Beside the size, the shape of the plant will give you an indication if they are suitable for pot culture or not; rounded, well shaped bushes with plenty of foliage look nice in pots while huge, tall or octopus like roses are not pleasing in pots....See MoreLooking for Raspberry plants, bare roots, or root stock please

Comments (3)i tend to go with the B option ... especially on larger stock ... you really dont tell us how big your trees are .... smaller stock will outgrow the issue .. faster and easier than a 6 footer ... e.g. you plant it north facing.. as the tree will tend to grow.. in tree time.. toward the sun.. in the south ... in other words .... it will tend to self correct.. in tree time.. over the decades .... its not 5 days late .. if you want to change it.. go do it .... the plant is dormant.. i presume ... ergo.... no additional stress by simply replanting it ... simply convince yourself you just heeled it in.. until proper planting .... lol ... ken https://duckduckgo.com/?q=heeling+in+a+plant&t=ffcm&ia=web...See Moreportlandmysteryrose
