    Dear ben i have worked on collected pines quite a bit they are not FORGIVING pine that size with no roots you have no hope, I m sorry to say that, you worked really hard to dig it up,

    Why didn't you wrap the root ball and cover the tree for transport? I would guess that the tree will not survive.

    Nice tree, but was wondering why you didn’t cover the roots with a soaked cover to keep the roots moist. Another suggestion is to keep more of it’s original soil attached to it’s roots for a better survival rate

    Just found this video from a few months ago. What a cool find ! Reminds us of some we have seen on the east slopes in Yellowstone and The Absaroka /Bighorn Mtns.
    Hey I hope you read this. I have been super busy with work, you will freak out when you find out what I do for a living lol....anyway Didn't want you to think I forgot about you.

    Try a scratch test on the trunk to see if the cambium is still alive. I, like many others on here already, am afraid your collection technique killed that beauty and no amount of grafting is going to change that. The growth showing is probably just stored energy and resources that was already in the buds before you dug it up.
    I truly hope I am wrong in my assessment and I wish you the very best in this adventure.

    Any update on how this monster is doing? I had a similar yardadori a couple yrs ago, it was a mugo, but after a wet wet winter last year it kicked the bucket. Trying to do a tanuki with it, as the trunk is too wonderful to throw away. Thanks for the video.

    Lovely tree. Wouldn't the staple gun crush the base of the grafts almost acting like a tourniquet, preventing the flow of nutrients and water into the grafted material?

  • @mchlbk

    I get Scots pine to back bud quite readily..they just need a bit of time to get over the move.
    If its pushing candles..it looks like it survived the move, just a waiting game now.
    That is gonna be a nice tree....Time + feed + vision....Exciting ! BEAST !

    That was very interesting Ben. It is good to keep experimenting, trees can surprise you. I do think it may be touch and go with this one, due to the roots being chopped and exposed to air in a truck, but I am keeping my fingers crossed for it. It's a cracker. Keep up the good work, I like your style!

  • @tomtynan8130
    @tomtynan8130 3 роки тому +4

    A tree that size would have had to grow on a flat rock; to extract a full intact flat root pad; the roots are poor in my opinion; simply because the roots ran away from the trunk; just very hard to collect a tree that size in open soil. Also - grafting onto the lower trunk would only happen when the tree recovers; max. growth and lots of new growth; the tree is at its weakest point right now ; absolutely the worst time to graft onto the lower trunk in my opinion. I know you really wanted this one; but it was not collectable in my opinion; regards Tom
