![]() You have a couple real nice specimens there. enjoy it for whatever it wants to become. i will send you an application for the WEIRDER THE BETTER CLUB. there arent any roots to hold it in place while you do that. ![]() i am not going back to read who wins in the marriage bonanza. forget about it being straight out of the ground. the bed looks like it goes another 6 to 8 feet wider. there isnt even a window there to look at it from inside. why do you want that taller one so close to the house. looks like very school built in MI in the late 50's. whats the deal with that school back there. And don't worry about telling us who is right or wrong, you don't have to do marriage counseling, we will figure that out on our own. Once again if you can tell us what to do with these beautiful trees, we would really appreciate it. Was this alright? Now how do I train top part of him to grow straighter? Or do I need to dig him up, plant his back according to how he was potted and start over? And by the way, it wasn't much of an angle, planted on a slight angle, so did not cover the root ball more on one side than the other. We planted him slightly crooked, which straightened the base of his trunk so now the first two feet of him are going straight up. ![]() In his pot he was leaning slightly at the bottom, and then he bends about halfway up, making the whole tree growing at roughly a 45 degree angle. Next question, so this guy we want to train to grow up straight, or as straight as we can get him to grow. ![]() Do we need to stake the bottom? If so how? Then how do we train the top part to grow upwards? I will go look up the name of the other one and send you a seperate email on that one. So.we have weeping norway spruce that we want to train to go upwards more, as it is wanting to weep over already and be short, but when we took it out of the pot we were surprised to see it has a small root ball. So I am hoping you will take the time to answer my emails and tell us what to do. :) ) And now we need to stake/train them and everything we read contradicts the other and confuses us. Īnd we bought four conifers a couple of weeks ago. We definitely need pix for the best info. Oh by the way, the other two conifers were easy and are planted and seem quite happy. So we would love to hear what we are really supposed to do. Also.my hubby was told that we needed to trim the branches that are draped on the ground off of the Nutans, and I don't think so, and don't want to. We kept reading information and getting advice and it all conflicted the other. Before it was at a 45 degree angle with the fact that the trunk came out of the giant pot at and angle and then the additional bend. How do we train it to do this, as it has a 35 degree angle right now after being planted at an angle. But we planted it at a slight angle to straighten the trunk, was this alright? It is planted at an angle on a slight slope, so there is no extra soil added on top of the root ball. Ken did you get my emails? I can't remember what all I wrote. Second conifer is a Picea Orientalis 'Nutans'. Do we need to stake it? And how do we train the top part to keep going up or out, as it is already wanting to bend all the way down at 3 feet. We were surprised at how small the root ball was when we took it out of the pot. Two of which are weeping, they are the ones we have questions about. I love the photos and have learned so much. I am a lurker, mostly on the hosta forum.
