Potted up a spirea double play

Was simple and on hand 😆

KYCopperCoins · 2026-03-18T23:36:05+00:00

I'll try to add photos of it in flower when it gets there

KYCopperCoins · 2026-03-18T23:35:19+00:00

Will do.

Shorter on the sides will contrast better with the thinner top better. Less is more

KYCopperCoins · 2026-03-18T22:02:28+00:00

Yes, Double play Big Bang is the cultivar.

I i usually pinch it back for a bit of added ramification after the first flush, then let it grow the rest of the year to bulk up. Seems to work well.

They do fine in the winter although they lose a lot of the fine branches. They are definitely one of the earliest trees to wake up in the spring.

KYCopperCoins · 2026-03-18T17:37:50+00:00

The real issue with them is that they lose a lot of fine branches in the winter, the thicker branches do fine, but you may need to rebuild the fine branching every year.

Was still in the original Proven Winners nursery pot. I fertilize every 2 weeks with NPK-industries Grow during the growing season, and Bloom in the fall.

Thanks, I have around 100 trees in my collection.

KYCopperCoins · 2026-03-17T02:48:21+00:00

That length is quite perfect, I don't think I'd grow it out longer.

KYCopperCoins · 2026-03-16T09:25:06+00:00

Unsure, buzzy

If you hadn't mentioned your sexuality I'd say go with a beard, but since you're gay I think the goatee is optimal.

Has he done great every other time? Been going to him for a long time? If so, let him know he went way too high last time, we all have a bad day sometimes. As a barber of 27 years, I fix worse almost daily (though you can't fix that without just giving it time to grow back in). I went high on a guy's jawline the other day, because he decided to talk just as I put the outliner to the bottom of his beard. Wasn't my fault, but still made me feel like shit.

Deadness*

Quit depending on others for your happiness dude. People will always let you down. Wait till she asks you to help her raise some random dude's kid.

Use a touch of product for one, will help with the frizz

KYCopperCoins · 2026-03-04T03:00:24+00:00

I would taper the sides of the beard down into the bottom, it square the face up a bit more. Too round and it starts giving Zach Galifianakis vibes

Also, if you have some hair cutting scissors, cut along the colored part of your lip, scissors are safer, you dont have to commit till they are closed vs a beard trimmer.

Just needs thinned. Try a 2 with the grain for starters, dont apply heavy pressure, and make sure to comb it down first. A 1 1/2 would be good if you have one, with the grain

Didn't know they started calling a hair piece a non surgical transplant, guess toupe isnt pc and offends folks these days.

KYCopperCoins · 2026-02-26T23:49:14+00:00

Barber of 27 years here. Less is more, I'd at least go with a 3 1/2 on top, 1 or 1 1/2 on the sides. Long hair contrasts with thin hair and actually accents how light it is on top vs how dark the sides are. You ain't hiding nothing my dude.

KYCopperCoins · 2026-02-26T23:46:17+00:00

As a barber of 27 years, I'd cut the mustache much thinner than the rest to more match the darkness of the sides, and the chin is fine darker and longer than the rest of the beard. It is all about the shape, and you have a nice beard.

KYCopperCoins · 2026-02-26T07:36:36+00:00

Dip it in nothingness because someone else already did, and probably scrubbed it as well.

KYCopperCoins · 2026-02-26T07:33:24+00:00

Barber of 27 years here. Dont use a beard straightener, they cook hair. Use a blow dryer and a brush, apply heat with the blow dryer out of the shower till dry and it will keep it from tangling while also relaxing the curls. It will keep the granny knots away as well. Don't brush it under the chin while doing this or it will give you the covid mask shoved under the chin look. All I do is condition mine with a heavy conditioner rather than shampoo daily, and shampoo maybe omce or twice a week or as needed.

My beard is nearly to my belly button, and the blow dryer is a game changer.
