 This Dawn Redwood was two years old and 4' tall last summer (check the photo in my blog post dated 6/17/12). Today it's a foot higher than the 5' stakes supporting it. At this pace, in another month it will be taller than John. Next year we'll have to use long-forgotten geometry to measure it unless someone can loan us a transit. |  In the background of the photo at left, the Rodeno clone Sangiovese buds we field grafted onto 1103P rootstock last year have awakened from dormancy. Tender Sangiovese leaves are pushing out further every day, sheltered by milk cartons from the possible predations of rabbits, squirrels, and errant boots. Oh yes - and our wild turkey, a daily visitor. We're hoping she prefers bugs to buds. |
