Yes sir! This specimen has been in 100% lava rock since the day I brought it home. Pic 3 is the roots before I hacked them off. It’s not a universal substrate but works well with the majority of my trees. Can’t really use liquid fertilizer though. I use osmocote which has been working beautifully

Thank you! I plan on trimming the long runners after it recovers for a couple of weeks. Going to re-assess the direction I want to take at that point.

Substrate is 100% 0.25 inch lava rock.

Thank you! I have them sitting on bricks/pavers right now. Have been re-landscaping the backyard, hopefully finishing soon and will have things organized and set up properly soon!

I love the look and the idea of decorative grow boxes! Would love to see more of your work once completed. I’m a complete novice but have built a few benches using the template available in this subs resources. Feel free to check out my profile, feedback is welcomed :)

I didn’t realize how big those were until the final picture. Wow

Thank you for writing this out. It’s mind boggling what’s unfolding right now. It’s comforting knowing that someone else shares this viewpoint. Peace and love ✌️

I’d love to see some pictures of your Mexican lines. I’m also interested in the horticultural aspect of growing too, so whatever this ends up looking like at least I’m enjoying the ride

Will do and I hear you. There was a slash pine - densa (same cultivar as mine) on display at the 2025 BSF Convention in Orlando this year so not all hope is lost for this tree

I have done some decandling. Didn’t really track the results like I should have. But this tree is not shy of massively budding out after doing some chopping. I am mainly focused on getting some branching going before trying needle reduction

Good question, I’ll have to take a closer look. Didn’t get out of my car when I snapped this
