It is too soon to tell if it's working yet (i.e., no new roots visible) but in another month or so I should have some idea!Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03908227916944431265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018539519561702876.post-65060440589123785302009-07-03T10:57:56.581-06:002009-07-03T10:57:56.581-06:00That's a fascinating idea.

Thanks for including the photos or I know I couldn't have imagined what it looked like.<br /><br />BTW, it's very dry here in Oklahoma this summer too.Sharihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14669815930006270847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018539519561702876.post-79756127514625421822009-06-24T17:57:34.343-06:002009-06-24T17:57:34.343-06:00Nice.

My guess is there's something in the soil now that the aspens don't care for but that you might find raspberries or currants or something just adore.<br /><br />The cloning is very cool tho and something I have been meaning to look into.<br /><br />Peace and comfort.Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10354640729644229842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018539519561702876.post-22030446089685465462009-06-21T09:59:13.797-06:002009-06-21T09:59:13.797-06:00AJC - any woody-stemmed plant is apparently a cand...AJC - any woody-stemmed plant is apparently a candidate for these rootpots, so saskatoons should fit the bill nicely! Those Lee Valley folks sure are creative - every time Iook through their catalogue I say "what a good idea" every couple of minutes! Some of their stuff is a bit pricey, but these rooting pots weren't.Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03908227916944431265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018539519561702876.post-15771445001661253822009-06-21T08:18:05.149-06:002009-06-21T08:18:05.149-06:00I knew that had to be a Lee Valley widget!

I guess the "gap" is a good example of just how precious trees are and how long they can take to regrow. :) I'm looking forward to seeing the "clones"!Eco Yoginihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10693080137196812405noreply@blogger.com
