    I just planted a weeping white spruce about 30" tall and can't wait to see it that tall. How much growth would you say it produces per year? I also added a Thunderhead black japanese pine along with a Silveray pine that are about 5.5' tall.

      About 6 to 8 inches per year is average.

    • @theweirdospfan.28

    How do you overwinter the weeping Alaskan cedar? Do you move the whole metal container, or remove it from the container?

    • @gardenhike
      @gardenhike  6 месяцев назад

      The Alaskan Weeping Cedar is still in its original nursery pot and has just been placed in the metal container (it is filled with soil to keep it from blowing over and creating the elevated height needed). I pull it out and put it under a couple of tarps for the winter months to protect the roots. Here’s a video I did a while back that takes a look at the process:

    Did your weeping white spruce bend over at all? I have had 3 planted for 2 years now and after the first year 2 of the 3 bent over at the tops almost parallel to the ground and I’m afraid they won’t grow up but down now.

    • @gardenhike
      @gardenhike  11 месяцев назад +1

      I have three and they have all remained upright. Perhaps the two were mislabeled. It sounds like they are acting more like the Norway Weeping Spruce.

      @@gardenhike thanks for the response. Two weeks ago I pulled away some of the clay topsoil in the bed and laid out compost and biotone. Just checked them again and it looks as though they’re straightening up some. The worst one is mostly in shade and it’s just the top foot that’s curved like an upside down J pointing down. The straightest one gets the most sun so I’m wondering if that’s playing a role.

      I actually had one for a couple of years but it fizzled out. I put the upright Scotch Pine I mentioned in the video, in its place. I’ve struggled with the yellow Norway spruce group. I have “The Limey” hanging in there. I’ll have to try a Gold Drift again in a different location. Cheers.
