I hadn’t noticed that until pointed out! I love it and now can’t unsee it.

Thank you!

I’m trying to encourage some trunk thickening while slowly choosing the main branches and overall shape. I try to let this tree grow out thick and dense with very little trimming, then chop it back to a state that will let light through to the lower foliage. That, or chop it when I need room on the rack or more cuttings in the propagation station. Rinse and repeat that a couple times a year and we’re here.

That mostly means clipping off upward growing new shoots to push that growth into lateral or more downward growing shoots.

Holler if you have any other questions or comments! I love trees!

This is my first time. I’ll let you know what happens. My practices were pretty simple all in all - try to get some material that’s in the transition to woody from fresh green growth when taking cuttings. Pop those into water immediately. Trim stems down to size and reduce the foliage, to fit in your prop greenhouse. Then dip in rooting hormone powder, shake/knock off excess, and plant.

No idea if anything will take, hahaha. Here’s to hoping! I’ll post updates if anything cool happens.

Thank you! I’m delighted by it and it’s lemony smell.
