Dartolution Posted October 23, 2021 Report Share Posted October 23, 2021 Just wanted to share the growth update of the blackburniana I got from Phil in March of 2020.

BeyondTheGarden Posted October 23, 2021 Report Share Posted October 23, 2021 That's a lot of growth. What size pot did it come in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakypalmguy Posted October 24, 2021 Report Share Posted October 24, 2021 Very nice, beautiful color and form, my 10 year old isn’t even that big since it was cut off from water for years and covered in weeds. It’s been getting regular water and sun now and is starting to recover. 2 Matt in Temecula, CA Hot and dry in the summer, cold with light frost in the winter. Halfway between the desert and ocean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What size pot did it come in? @Jesse PNW 5 gallon pot when it was received. @freakypalmguy It sure does seem to like water. It's in an area of the yard that gets drainage from the neighbors yard, and its planted in amended red clay. It also has 3 micro emitters on drip irrigation that supplement watering when it hasn't rained and/or during the heat of the summer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
