Looks great Jim! I have a few of those catasbaei growing that are about the same size.

looking good.. So how old are these from when you started them (not including stratification).

Thanks for posting Jim. Excited to see how these turn out.

Are you fertilizing them? Osmocote can push them along at alarming speeds! These seedlings are 8 months old.

I'm so jealous!!

 

[requiemsong]

Wait. I thought you were supposed to avoid fertilizing them? Also what Osmocote do you use? The indoor pots and tub one, or something else?

I give my seedlings small doses of fertilizer on instruction from a very reputable grower. 1/4 strength Neptunes Harvest fish ferts. They seem to respond to it well.
