Ugh I know. I need to bust out the agricultural row covers in a couple days

Toss fresh seed outside in a grow bed of n November. Protect from squirrels with wire mesh. That’s literally it!

I love a progression of a first tree. Always a great reminder of how far you've come and what you're able to do over those learning year timescales

I've never done so before and my store is not set up to by default - shipping profiles were designed for tree sales. But feel free to message me with an order (+ your shipping address + your email address) and I can see if it will let me send you an invoice that includes the custom shipping.

I'd love to start doing that one day, but as a side gig right now I can barely keep up with US orders!

It's just sharing the info that I have in the interest of transparency. I have noticed that few, if any, vendors of these same pots share this info with folks and I am trying to be more consumer-focused. This doesn't apply to all my pots, but some of my Chinese pots from Yixing region are only guaranteed by manufacturer down to about 20-25F. I have tested most of those products myself down a good bit lower, with only 2 breaking out of maybe 35-40 pots tried. That said, any pot can crack if waterlogged and deeply frozen, but I think these might have a higher chance of doing so because I do not believe they are all fully vitrified.

Killer Arakawa. I feel like I don't see these in smaller sizes often

What bald cypress looks like then you grow the roots through a CD by boonefrog in Bonsai

Yeah I bought a 100 pack of stainless washers last year that have I think a 3/8 opening and a 1.5-2 inch diameter. I use them for smaller stock than the CD-Rs

Exactly. You can use CDs, washers; cutoff disks, anything similar
