Giant Sequoia/Sciadopitys/Cryptomeria Yoshino
Comments (1)Hm. Sciadopityses usually go for about 60 bucks a foot here, more or less, getting slightly cheaper as they get taller. Foot tall being about 60, and then a three foot one being about 160. So I'm guessing around here, a six foot tall one would go for around 340 or something. They're still pretty much more expensive than anything else, but not THAT expensive....See MoreQuestion on cryptomeria japonica 'radicans'
Comments (8)There are lots and lots of 50+ foot tall Cryptomeria in the northwest One in Tacoma was 93 ft. tall in 1987. Japanese records go higher. The top contenders are very likely the giant trees, Yaku-sugi, that are preserved on Yakushima Island. Jomon-sugi is a particularly well known Yaku-sugi, 5.2 meters in diameter and 25.3 meters tall; another Yaku-sugi is 34.9 m tall (Anonymous-1a). I suspect the photograph at left is of the Jomon-sugi. Matsuzawa (1998) provides further details, as does UNEP-WCMC (1993), and useful information for anyone wanting to visit these trees is provided by JNTO (2006). A map of the island, showing the locations of notable Yaku-sugi is provided by Anonymous-1b. http://www.conifers.org/cu/Cryptomeria.php...See MoreCryptomeria Radican Quality Question (Picture attached)
Comments (12)first.. i hope you opened the plastic.. and i hope its not sitting in full sun ... baking the roots ... i dont grow cyrpto in MI ... so i cant help directly ... i wonder if you have enough space for its future potential ... perhaps others can say ... i have gotten or bought.. even in person.. uglier plants .. and once established.. they fill in just fine.. in tree time ... they all dont have to look like sheared xmas trees ... a little variation in the garden isnt that big a deal .. imo ... i have bought a lot uglier plants.. just to buy the name ... no comment on that logic .. lol .. but.. you are in a catch 22 ... return for 50% refund... should you eat the other 50.. or just keep it .... not knowing the price.. i guess i would rather keep the plant ... and i refuse to contemplate the losses i have had over the years ... lol ... one way to avoid these type of issues.. is to buy smaller.. avoiding some level of instant gratification .. but getting a higher quality plant.. in better shape.. or which you might be able to get into better shape ... thru root pruning or whatever ... one thing you might do .. its worked for me ... if they have smaller stock.. to ask if they have a smaller one.. worth 50% of the original cost.. and see if they would replace the larger.. with the smaller .. it works sometime .... because they can take care of the problem out of stock.. rather than on a cash basis ... this has worked for me in the past.. and then i end up with 2 plants .. and end up liking the first in the long run ... tree time ... because it is unusual.. lol ... apparently i ramble with early morning coffee ... lol ... i hope you find some value is such ... ken...See MoreCryptomeria issues... droopy leader and dead leader.
Comments (3)try not to equate the characteristics of an established tree .. with a recent ...HUGE.. transplants ... that does not take into account.. field digging it .. shipping it to seller ... to your house.. and you planting it .. it has to get over all those stresses.. before it will start acting like an established tree .. might take 2 or 3 years. in tree time ... ALL trees releader .. but again.. in tree time ... when it does.. it might throw up more than one.. and that is when you will choose one.. and take care of the others ... in tree time.. there is no reason to hurry the process along... you can ... if you want... but the tree will take care of it ... itself ... since it appears to be planted high ... a bit above grade ... i would opt toward erring on the side of more water .. if your soil drains ... is the lawn irrigated??? .. if so.. i would not rely on such to water the roots of a tree .. its 2 differing methods ... anyway... be patient.. in tree time.. it will sort itself out.. and you can clean up any mess .. but bottom line.. you cant speed the process much at all ... if you fert that lawn.. once the tree gets its roots out under it.. it will NEVER need any additional fert .. and right now.. its still stressed.. not hungry... so fert is not a response .. imo .. ken...See More- 7 years ago
