Quercus xsternbergii-FOUR flushes of growth! Nearly three feet tall. Kinda spindly, hence the stake, despite being in full sun.

Although, if it's like past oaks I've grown, it will thicken up considerably in caliper next year.

Cladrastis kentukea.

Beheaded Acer japonicums. The first sent two new shoots identical in height, COMPLETELY parallel, actually touching each other. I removed one. The second one is taking much longer, but appears to be setting new growth in the axils of its leaves. We have a good 2 1/2 months before a hard freeze (below the upper 20s) so I hope these harden off properly.

Correction, the Quercus xsternbergii has had five growth flushes, not four.

Good looking seedlings, Hair.

Q. macrocarpa plus a couple coccinea for grafting this winter. All in one pot, since I will be bare rooting them anyway before shipping to Dax.

Thanks!

Hair, that's impressive. Some fast trees here just keep growing till fall without pausing -- ex, honeylocust, Chinese elm, dawn redwwod & weeping willow.

Ok. Couple questions about my lone Yellowwood (Cladrastis).
Two pics attached. This tree lost quite a bit of root when I moved from its plug into the smart pot, so it stalled for a couple weeks in June. It has therefore grown much slower than the redbud I have, and I keep thinking since both are legumes, that they should have a more similar growth rate. It has grown faster more recently, though. However, the redbud is now over a foot and a half tall, and this thing is maybe 8 inches to the top of the stem. It does look healthy, see the pics below. Does it appear to be about normal sized for its four month age?
Also, the stem has a noticeable angle. If you were me, would you stake it up straighter? I'm thinking I'll wait until Spring 2016 before doing anything...

Nah, just leave it alone. Plant the rootball at an angle when you're ready. Phenomenal pics!

...I'm going to begin making my own grow bags. My mother showed me how to thread a sewing machine.
