Another European field maple (Acer campestre) got a new pot at the spring tree slaughtering festival in my garden. Here the trees in December 2006 at Wolfgang Kaeflein’s place. David is mustering the tree like an old savy horse trader.

On Saturday, April 21 lots of apprentices gathered in my garden to help with the big trees.
Here the maple form many sides in the old plastic container.

First we dragged the tree outnof the container and got rid of all the old soil. We found soil from the original habitat again.

1) Andi, Monika and Alex
2) Alex looks tiny
3) this is quite a guy
4) this one too

Will this ever go into this pot? I believe in planting such trees into the smallest possible container. It may well be the final one. Trees grow BETTER in such contaienres if watered and fed very well as long as the substrate is very well draining. And then you never have the problem to get it into the final container again. The final container often is BIGGER then the growing container.

1) and 2) the roots are stuffed in. At this stage I do not like to cut off roots. Only if really necessary because of space problems.
3) here we are
4) Alex and Petra are fillig in substrate (pumice, vbaked clay and soem peat). In the end the put top substrate on the surface for looks only.
5) this is the back. The stone is not for decoration but to make sure the tree does not fall out of the pot. Huge tres like this one are not fastend with wire. They sit in the pot with their own weight and will sty there usually whatever happens.
6) Finished

Có những ngày mưa gió, ngày nắng chói chang nhưng khi mở cửa ra hàng hoa dại vẫn nằm đó dưới bậc thềm. Không nhạt không úa mà vẫn còn vẻ tươi trong như ngày nào.
