Nice. And I'm jealous. Lilac is my favorite (and as you know mine died). I had decided to just stick to my Salix twins but I really want to go get another lilac. PS: i forgot about my donation to the Arbor Day Foundation, and a couple of days ago I got a bag of trees! At lease there's one willow in there. haha. Let me know if you need any more!!
I agree, some trees do better with more organics mixed in. Always experimenting, and it does help with water retention. I have several lilac starts, since I have bushes that sucker in my yard. Fun plant to play with, and fast growing. Yours is very nice!
What’s up Mike, enjoyed your video. I too use a type of organic soil, I use miracle gro cactus and potting soil. I have 4 types of hinoki cypress, a number of deciduous trees including Japanese maple, beach, and olive, I also have 4 types of juniper including procumbens, and shimpaku. I find that the extra water retention helps a lot during my hot summers, so far I haven’t had any root rot problems. Like you said a lot of variables are involved
Hello from Lakeland Florida! I am writing this comment in the middle of the video. But to suggest to plant the first two cuttings and they might grow. I don't throw away anything and my cuttings success is above 75 percent.
Hi mike.. what zone are you in? I have 4 starts in pots! Planned to plant them out. Should I grow them on pots rill they’re better established? Zone 6a
iPhone 6B here. If yours are starts then I would probably wait until maybe early May or so. But that's just me. Starts are a little bit more fragile than older plants.
good job
thank you

Glad to hear I'm not the only one! Some people look at me like I'm a heretic when I say that lol.
Super
