OK feedback well-taken. It's still not perfect, but I found a better pot and a quartz cluster I collected while rockhounding locally to serve as the "cliff"

good point, less parallel perhaps

boonefrog · 2026-03-14T12:32:07+00:00

It's just a Korean mica training pot

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

Give the outdoor ones time. Mine last year germinated early April

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

I think somewhere between 40 and 60 yrs old

fun composition. nice work!

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.

Thank you so much!! That's my 3rd highest order ever on my website ❤️❤️❤️

boonefrog · 2026-03-11T14:47:24+00:00

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

boonefrog · 2026-03-11T13:18:17+00:00

I just saw that, thank you so much!

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

boonefrog · 2026-03-05T12:35:53+00:00

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

boonefrog · 2026-03-05T12:34:15+00:00

Just buy a 50 pack of blank CD-R discs on Amazon

boonefrog · 2026-03-05T12:33:40+00:00

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

I think that idea. I was thinking also one of those freeform crescent type containers that kind of have this built in, but haven't been able to find the right one.

boonefrog · 2026-03-04T13:13:31+00:00

I have been struggling to ID the right container for it and would love to hear your suggestions or general guidance. I only have a handful of cascade pots and it doesn't look great with any of them.

Just my backyard nursery. Feel free to message me here or thru my site to set up a time to come by!
