@@johnyork9034 - is it? Cool, I've learned something new!

Thanks, Mohammed! How are your pawpaws doing?

@@terrenceherrin8194 - I've heard that it could cause irritation. I'd rather avoid it 😅

@@stephanm.6250 - it's a blessing to have such healthy trees! Well, perhaps if you just cut them level with the ground, I think that would slow down the growth of pups... tearing them out would damage the mother tree's roots and I think cause another pup to take its place pretty quickly!

@@whynot8586 - the plant can be touched very carefully without any ill effects (unless you are super sensitive). There are fine hairs on some parts of the plant which you want to avoid and you'll want to avoid touching any sap or crushed berries or their juice; but even if you do, you may not feel any effects. If any part of the plant is consumed by accident, you will get sick, but probably not die. I would just remove it on my own, wearing gloves! It's pretty low on the toxicity scale.

@@Drpaper1 - 😂

@@GUSGUS1331 - thanks! Well, I moved and have the plant away back at the beginning of 2022... I'll never know 😭

Sure! What kind of tree? What info would you like best?

Do it horizontal

I certainly thought it would be larger! Unfortunately, it only grows super fast in the right conditions; like in Philadelphia or in Hawaii, it lives up to its reputation. In Ontario... it actually grows slower than Tree of Heaven! Still fairly quick, though 😀

You're most welcome, glad you enjoyed it! Unfortunately, I didn't make any update videos on these trees... But, they do grow well and a lot of them grew for two years before I started giving them away. They grew to about 15 - 30 cm tall in 1-2 years. I think the amount of sunlight/light might make them grow slower. I'm in Taiwan right now (where all kinds of ficus grow like weeds) and they grow so fast outside. However, if you started them off inside, don't just take them outside or they'll get burned to death! In this case, you'll have to wait until they're much bigger to start the careful process of introducing outside sun to them.

Sometimes, they take longer if they're not "cold stratified" (kept in refrigerator for 3-6 months) first! Great to hear that your seeds started growing!

I think you should give air layering another try. I know that a tree farm in Niagara Falls has lots of success with air layering!

@@treelife365 I have done my research online and professional books they all said would not work, that is same result as my tries. But from runners with little bit roots would have high successful rate for sure! In the botanical book I have, said it can be propagated by winter cuttings, so I will try that this winter.

@@janemyfoodandflowers7726 - any method is worth a try, as long as you keep the mother plant healthy 🙂 The runners/pups that I got were from a really healthy and older mother plant, and I made sure to get a big piece of root when I dug each up. 100% survived!

They are indeed spectacular!

It grew well, Nick (you can see some updates during my "Garden Updates" videos), but I sold my house and gave all my plants away in January 2022!

Yes, indeed! Mango grows easily in Taiwan 😊

Hope the video helped!

I'm glad you think so, and I will! I'll do a longer video if I see anything worthy 😉

Thanks for the recommendation!

You're most welcome, Charlotte! Good luck!

The root suckers/pups are identical in DNA to the mother... and they can produce fruit when they're mature (6-7 years old), but they need to be pollinated by another tree!

They're definitely really invasive somewhere like Philadelphia, but up here in Ontario, there are actually several mature trees growing in the Niagara Botanical Gardens (they produce seeds), but there hasn't been an invasion! Even the ones I grew actually kind of struggled to grow very fast (I was disappointed!). A wild Tree of Heaven was actually growing faster than my biggest Empress Tree!

@@treelife365 I just know they are a problem where I live in the south east US

Glad you enjoy them, Jay! I could definitely try some longer videos... how about a series of shorts?

Glad you enjoyed seeing it, Jay! I realized that I haven't been active on UA-cam at all... going to try to upload more 😆

Hi Carl! Well, just very, very carefully. Some people use tweezers, but I use my fingers and try not to move them around too much. For example, when potting, the planted seedling doesn't have to be standing up; just as long as the roots are under the soil.

Glad you enjoyed seeing them. I should share more! I've been slacking 🤣

Doing well, but haven't updated or gone on UA-cam in a while! I think I'll have more time for that kinda stuff in the summer months 😊 Glad to see that your bonsai adventures continue, Jay!

@@treelife365 As long as your ok and well my friend look forward to seeing your future video :)

Good luck with your first Empress Tree, Jengold! Yes, we gardeners are all familiar with our good friend, Squirrelly-Sqoo 😆

Hi Brandon! They usually grow much taller than wide and the root system is very fibrous. My advice would be to go ahead and plant near your retaining wall; it's actually a myth that tree roots damage walls. Usually, the wall is already damaged and the tree roots simply go into the cracks because of available moisture. Then, when the wall is being repaired, people see tree roots and blame the tree! I was digging around my basement wall with a 100-year-old black walnut tree nearby... the basement wall was in good condition and there were huge black walnut roots going alongside the wall, but not into it!

I would give the trees as much horizontal space around the trunk as you'd give any other tree 👍

Hi Allen! I just used bagged "topsoil" from a supermarket garden centre. If they sell a lot of them, they're very fresh and good to use for all purposes.

Awesome to hear, Mohammad! Thanks for keeping me updated 😊 I'm glad they've survived, which means that they'll probably do really well this growing season... but yeah, they are slow growers! Keep me updated 😊
