pruning new growth?
Comments (4)I rarely tip prune young trees- doesn't create a useful response and is stimulating of more rank growth of which Asian pears tend to provide more than their share. It is precisely the wrong thing to do if you want the tree to begin hardening off. A tree that is establishing can't grow too much in a season, IMO- the sooner it fills the space you want for it the better- if it gets a bit too tall during the growing season you can always bring it down later. Tip pruning is something I do when trying to develop secondary and tertiary branching off of scaffolds in excessively lanky trees. Best results are acquired if you begin this in spring. I'd let the tree grow to help it feed its wood and root system but maybe spread my permanent branches to a more horizontal position now. Eliminate the excess branches when tree is dormant. So now you have conflicting advice from two experts. Obviously there is more than one road to Rome....See MoreA stressed cherry now pushing new growth low on trunk...prune ?
Comments (7)These spiral cherries are usually always grafted so any trunk growth is typically understock (not the weeping type of cherry). So yes, remove any growth you see coming off the trunk.

Comments (4)I agree with calendula identification. There are different varieties and that looks like a nice color combination. The flower is edible but I never eat mine. You might deadhead to encourage more blooms but calendulas readily self sow for me here in NH. This spring I transplanted some to other parts of the vegetable garden and pulled out some. So if you want some next year, let it go to seed at the end of the season....See MoreFicus pruning, how to control direction of new growth
Comments (29)I love the indoor growth im still getting. I'm going to have to conclude the grow lights are definitely helping. I hope to keep this up all winter. Lights are on a timer from 7am - 8pm. just a few months ago I wasn't sure if ficus needed a sort of dormancy, not like deciduous trees that drop leaves, but more like an inactive growth period. However, I do believe if they get the right amount of light and conditions, they can just keep growing all year....See MoreAdelaide (Z8b Canada)
