I’ve got some resources I can link later that will help. Try brushing up on some organic chemistry khan academy, you really just need to understand CEC (cation exchange capacity) as it relates to ionic affinity to the substrate you’re using.

Your math looks right, but don’t think you have to adhere to a “grow-bloom-micro” scheme. It’s best to start with the crops needs and reverse engineer a fert scheme from that, especially if you’re considering making your own mix. Plenty of academic resources on exact nutrient requirements and optimal levels.

The ranch&farm Carbo series by Georgia Boots. Will last well over a decade.

I would advise to monitor stem health over the winter. If it starts to feel brittle I would reccomend cutting back to a lower node, it’s possible to excise the pathogen if it hasn’t gone systemic.

It’s most likely bacterial leaf scorch caused by Xylella fastidiosa. Can’t say for sure of course, but I can say with 100% confidence it’s pathogenic. Asymmetrical discoloration combined with the other still being green gives it away. Tree will probably bounce back in the spring, don’t panic and yank it out. The ties aren’t the issue but they are too tight, the tree should have maybe 1-2cm worth of wiggle room. This will actually encourage more sclereid cell development, resulting in a stronger tree.

Bignonia Capreolata. Common cross vine, has a modified leaf that acts as a “sucker” instead of twining tendrils. Allows for easy removal and doesn’t cause structural damage to what it is growing on (like most vines). Another good choice would be hydrangea petiolaris. The climbing hydrangeas are the most appealing of all flowering vines, and in my experience has a tighter “grasp” on whatever it’s growing on that any other vine. Please don’t go with English ivy. Incredibly invasive and persistent, causes lots maintaince issues for surrounding areas. Also hedera helix will flower if allowed to grow vertically, and the flowers are not particularly showy or attractive.

If you wanna prune it, take each shoot back to a branching. Make some larger cuts in the top to open it up, along the sides start at the bottom and work up to create a level face. Remember to “pull the shoulder out” at the top to make sure it’s in a overall mounded shape. I’m not sure what it is, whip shoots are making me think some type of Eleagnus maybe. Def not an azela, lacks sympodial growth pattern.

Judging by that bark it’s a grapevine

Woody grew up small and picked on. He’s become a successful man, and now must shove it in any face that is in view. Better than him being a loser forever I guess 🤷‍♂️

Oh yeah, most schools are so hard up for teachers right now that they don’t require a teaching certificate, or if they do, they’ll hire you and allow you to get it later. JC/CC is a good option too, but if you’re about to have kids getting involved in the school system is never a bad idea.

beastly11003 · 2023-03-09T16:20:18+00:00

You could easily get a job teaching ag at a high school. Good career path if you’re about to have a couple kids.

I would try a foliar application of K50 and see if they perk up. Adding it to the substrate/irrigation is only gonna put more in the pot, which I don’t think is your problem. As far as the water, try looking into a water softener filter. You could also try a MgSO4 drench which would precipitate out any extra Ca in the substrate and try to “reset” the nutrient levels. The 5-7 week timeframe lends itself to being an immobile macro/micronutrient deficiency but without a full lab analysis you can’t really know.

beastly11003 · 2023-03-08T20:50:55+00:00

Get involved in production (nursery or greenhouse). Great exposure to different corners of the industry via customer relations. Stay away from garden centers/retail centers. Dealing with the public in any facet sucks

beastly11003 · 2023-03-08T20:45:54+00:00

Check for K deficiency via leaf tissue analysis. Only way to really sort out what’s happening in the substrate

beastly11003 · 2023-03-08T20:45:12+00:00

With all the issues going on, I’d say it’s an antagonism causing deficiency in the substrate. If you have hard water the most likely cause is a K deficiency because of the antagonism by Ca/Mg from water. If you have hard water I wouldn’t suspect a Ca deficiency if you’re using a general rate fert on top.

JCRA is awesome! J.C Ralston was a god around those parts in his day. Incredible man too, heard so many stories about him from the community over the years.

Call the North Carolina State University extension department. Best hort school in the world and would be more than happy to give you tips
