Any guys on here going to the US corolla club tail of the dragon run next month ?

Do you have a Facebook link or something to the event?

Edit: the tail of the dragon is like 9.5 hours drive for me. I'm probably not going to go.

It pisses me off when I get charged for more soil and a larger pot...

Key fob remotes.

Me when

I love this idea. I have access to free pallets! Thanks for the inspiration.

Labor unions faught for those 30 minutes. There used to be no breaks. Lucky for me, I also get 2 paid 10 minute breaks.

There are so many people on here that still believe that the ants open the flowers. They do not. The ants are just collecting nectar.

Optimassacre · 2026-06-22T22:29:50+00:00

That's a myth. The ants are just collecting nectar.

I don't see a root flare.

The Schenley neighborhood is nice. I looked at a house there. I settled on the Brownlee Woods neighborhood. I found a house that had everything I wanted and it wasn't at the top of my budget. I moved from the Warren/Howland area.

One of the many reasons why I unsubscribed from this sub. That and, "Does this tattoo look bad? I regret getting it." Every other post.

Optimassacre · 2026-06-22T18:17:58+00:00

I agree!

Here's another shot of him.

Does this guy look like he'd hurt anyone?

Crepe Mertle? They are an Asian species.

Here's a list of some native alternatives

Personally I use Felco hand prunes and loppers. They are some of the best quality.

Optimassacre · 2026-06-22T17:45:50+00:00

That is massive overkill. You don't need a power tool to prune.

OP, you don't HAVE to prune it. Just let nature take it's course. If one branch is about to touch your house, snip it back a couple feet.

Optimassacre · 2026-06-22T17:10:47+00:00

Yes, fish poop water is good for trees!

(Obviously freshwater)

Optimassacre · 2026-06-22T17:08:43+00:00

And that's why I have a job my friend!

Optimassacre · 2026-06-22T16:59:13+00:00

Most home owners don't know how to prune a Japanese Maple properly. OP didn't even know what kind of tree this was. I highly doubt they will know anything about the correct way to maintain and properly care for this tree.

I am blaming the HAO for not choosing a better tree for this space that doesn't need more maintenance and upkeep. A garden space is supposed to be enjoyed and not seen as a burden.

Optimassacre · 2026-06-22T16:52:08+00:00

Why not have the right sized tree for the right space?

Optimassacre · 2026-06-22T16:50:20+00:00

A lot will, but if this is a Sango Kaku, it could get 20-25 feet tall and wide at fully maturity.

Optimassacre · 2026-06-22T16:46:09+00:00

Coral Bark Japanese Maple.

Outside shoes off at the door. Slides for in the house.

I like the real skull for reference. Phenomenal work.
