How’s the Central Park group doing?

What a lovely tour and exciting collection😃 Thanks for sharing😊

So many trees and projects to come, awesome!!

May spring be there soon! 😊

Cool steve! I'd never be able to leave my trees on the ground, I'd no longer have any trees! Something for sure would eat them or destroy them 😮

Outdoor tour, you really have a wide collection for yourself. I cover all mine with leaves and try to put the pots soil level in the winter egg crates. That way in the winter months with this bitter cold we have they stay content. Lots of work for you. Stay warm.

Moss looks great for you. Cool updates in your greenhouse. A great seed farm. You have the light for it. Too cold here for rain.18F/-8C here in the windy city at 7:30am

What's your technique for keeping critters away from the tree's??

Everything looks tucked away and cozy Steve. Just a thought if mice are an issue. I put three foot sections of pvc with poison blocks stuffed in the middle (to keep dry) in mt winter beds. Haven’t had one issue yet 🤞🏻

Thanks for the tour of your garden. Always welcoming.

Then line the edges with critter traps, so no one else touches your Ginkos! 😬 They look tucked in tight for the winter. 🍻until next year

Genius idea with the benches doubling as a wind break for your overwintering trees.

Looks great Steve. Just today I got most of my guys down on the ground behind wind breaks. Just a few more to go into their winter home. See you soon

That's a lot of cool material. Good show, Steve!

TFS...

I put two together about three years ago but only really at the base. I think it’s slowly fused. I’ll do an update and check it out.

Don’t understand why Nigel or anyone uses rubber cement. I think you can use wood glue. It’s more natural and works also. 🙃

I agree with your thought process here. Good luck with this one! I’m sure it’ll pull through.

Great video Steve 👊👊👊👊

Fusion will take for you. Just give it time and spring will amaze you. Stay warm. 18F/-8C here in the windy city. Hope it is better out your way, Steve.

These Ports should survive for you. My jades only have light from the basement windows and nothing else. They are growing nicely. I just have to watch not to over water them since the coolness in the basement does not let them dry out fast.

I tried an experiment last winter...half my PA'S were in the basement under LED grow lights with 50-60 degree temps..The other half were in the warmth of the house under similar lighting....The PA'S in the basement went essentially dormant and barely grew...the ones in the house still grew.....Amazingly, my crassula jades loved being in the basement and grew like weeds....

Would suggest using raffia or some natural fiber to tie the trunks together. Chances of bite marks are much less. If you scrape the bark off lightly, expose the cambium and then allow the cambiums of the individual trunks to be in contact before tying them together, the fusion is smoother.

Lots of light and keep them warm and they'll recover and grow....

Spider mites hate methylated spirits, really works well Steve... good job too

TFS...

They are quite forgiving if you cut then say ow I shouldn’t have done that they tend to shoot close by. 👍🇦🇺🦘

Foist! Looking good all nestled together. The roots will at least intertwine and give you a solid base. My 2¢ anyways.

Good work Steve 👏

After doing jade directional pruning. Where you've left 2 leaves, cut 2/3rds off of the leaf on the side that you don't want growth....it doesn't always get you growth in the preferred direction, but regularly helps convince the plant to grow where there's a leaf...

Nice steve! My neighbor gave me a giant jade plant, it's about 3 inches thick .i hope to repot it in the spring but i have to find a good pot for it. It's got roots starting to grow right on the branches! Those tiny ones would be great in a thimble pot.

Nice chops on the jades for the future...❤✂️👍

Nice chops on the jades! I’m diggin it.

Cool forest Steve !!

Thanks for sharing...

After all that pruning, this will become a cool forest come spring.

Nice video❤❤❤like2

Enjoying a cup of tea to take the chill out of the bones and watching another cool video.

FOIST AND TO LIKE!!!

lovely structure ! great job....

Love the Tiger Barks!!!!

Great work Steve! Happy Thanksgiving!

Brave cuts today. I was hoping you would do that big cut near the end … I even talked to my phone saying “do it!” Lol 😅 That was a great choice that I think will pay off in the future. Looking forward to seeing what this looks like in the spring!

Nice win for you from Carlos. Nice work pruning for spring growth.

Nice Steve glad you won Carlos’s tree mate tree looks great

Congratulations on your win.

Nice tree Steve ! 👍

Glad this tree is in great hands 😁. It will turn into a great tree

Great job Steve You really have that structure sorted out and set up nicely for the future. Thanks, keep growing

Awesomeness. My willow leaf ficus self defoliates every fall. It's bare from late December until early March when it leafs out again..
