Bargain Supermarket Fruit Trees | initial thoughts & repotting
zhlédnutí 1,1KPřed 4 měsíci
Whilst at the supermarket the other day I saw these small fruit trees at a bargain price, I decided to buy 2 of the varieties I’ve not heard of before. Honeyberry & Aronia. I’ve later found out the Aronia is commonly called Chokeberry. I’ll be giving you my initial thoughts and repotting both the trees, I decided I needed to bare root them in the end. Anyway, thanks for watching.

    Wow, they look beautiful, I have done a few Bonsai in my time, including a couple of Silver Birch trees. My first was a Japanese Maple, in a pot, a beautiful red one with dissected leaves, started in about 1998/9 & is doing very well indeed. You can use any wire, not too thick, that will hold its shape when bent, try not to wrap it too tight, you will dent the branches, you can add more wire as they grow. I bend mine a little bit more every few weeks, till I’m happy with the shape, less chance of snapping/splitting the branches 🫶

    Fantastic video. Thank you for the thorough explanation for a beginner who has been intimidated making a bird bath for quite sometime. I originally wanted to buy one, but I can’t justify wasting hundreds of dollars, up to a thousand plus on a bird bath 😞. What I’m using now is a an ugly eye sore Home Depot bucket filled with water, and a shallow dish covering the top like a lid with the solar fountain on top. The solar fountain connects to a small hose that goes into the bucket and I drilled enough drainage holes in the dish leading back into the bucket. Thanks to your video, i now have a plan to make one.

    Thanks...would it work to embed some glass marbles around the rim? I assume a full mosaic would not work because it would end up on the underside of the bird bath where it would not be visible. But just on the outside between the inner and outer plate, pressing them in once the middle plate was pressed into place?

The pot is 2 feet high and the same across.

    • @GrowWithKit
      @GrowWithKit Před měsícem

      Hi Valorie I’m happy you found it helpful 😊thank you. The size of the pot is really used to control speed of growth, a huge pot would be almost like planting in the ground. If you prune the roots and cut back a lot of the growth we slow everything down but you can still plant it back in the huge pot.
