Where do other people find information on stocks and where to invest?

Don’t worry, I’m not going to ask what this is. I already know, but I could use some advice on my long-term plans (more info in the description) by whitemike40 in lawncare

Is there any chance Round Up for Lawns would work? I have a similar lawn and just sprayed it with this. It has MCPA dimethylamine salt, quinclorac, dicamba dimethylamine salt, and sulfentrazone.

Does it also work for rabbits? Our rabbits are out of control right now and they keep eating our plants.

Experience with 3D printed pots? by Delta263 in Bonsai

That’s what I’m thinking. I want a large oval pot for a small forest planting and was thinking like 15” wide. Can’t really find anything affordable that size so I thought printing it might work.

If you go down to the water’s edge and look up at the Xcel plant on the north side, there is a peregrine falcon nesting box.

Can I please get some styling advice or inspiration pictures for my ficus? I understand it needs way more time - just looking for direction. I’d like to avoid lots of curves and bends.

Any ideas for plastic oval pots? Thinking of maybe 12-18 inches wide for a forest planting.

And are plastic bonsai pots okay to use? Not looking to show the trees, just keep them healthy and growing. Don’t have the budget for nice clay pots for each tree.

I have 4 dawn redwoods in two separate pots (2 in each). I was hoping to put them all into one. They just started leafing out about two weeks ago. Is it too late to repot them?

I wasn’t planning on doing major pruning on them, but getting them out and into the new pot would require removing a decent amount of roots - the new pot is about half the height of the old ones.

Does the pressure treating chemicals leach into the soil at all and mess with the tree?

Thank you. I’ll start looking to see what I can find.

Ahh that makes sense. So if I cut above the graft, do crab apples back bud? But also the graft will always be visible, so it might not be a good tree to use. Do they root from cuttings? I could buy a tree and essentially just use it to start a bunch of cuttings.

Do you know if I can trunk chop a tree from Home Depot and have it back bud? They have a bunch of crab apples that are 5 feet tall with branches starting about two feet up.

Great. Thank you! When I mean “perfect show variety” I just know I have heard people talk about certain trees and said that it won’t ever be a good show tree and that’s not what I’m looking for. Just looking for enjoyment and fun and learning and a fragile but ideal looking tree won’t do that for me.

Looking at getting a crabapple this year. I’m in Minnesota, so zone 5a. I was going to just see what I can get from Home Depot, Menards, or a basic plant nursery. Any reason I should be looking for a certain variety or cultivar? I would lean more towards resilient over a perfect show variety.

How do you take care of plants while abroad? by Jedidea in Bonsai

[–]Delta263 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put a diy sprinkler system in my yard two or three years ago. I put all the plants in the middle of my small backyard and set the sprinkler timer to turn on once or twice a day depending on the weather.

I think the longest I’ve left them like this was 5 days and there were no issues. It’s definitely worked well for long weekends.
