I've been going hard on the summer edition redbull, full sugar of course. It's sudachi&lime flavored and I realized the other day it's very reminiscent of mountain dew and it honestly made me like it a little less lol.

Langten, you should pull a scoby chunk off in a separate container and start feeding it coffee, shit's soo good 🤌

I confess there's a sweet cherry tree that I found growing near someone's foundation and I'm gonna wait another month for it to go to sleep and then I'm gonna take the whole thing.

Either way I'm here for this grand theft sapling scheme

I would trade a plum tree for a kiwi tree in a heartbeat. I got one from my last property that had been abandoned there for like 10 years I have no idea what gender it is so I don't know how to pollinate it yet.

I've been tearing out an ungodly amount of invasive blackberry so planting this where that was would be a good trade and would still provide food for the birds.
I can graft something good onto it later. Trying to grow cherries from seed has been difficult.

I watched this YouTube video called the man who planted trees.
It made me feel like I'm not doing enough and now I've been kind of in my mind trying to find the perfect place that I can plant like six or seven native trees at the right distance away from each other and just reforested a small area at least.
The trick is trying to find a place that doesn't occasionally have some dude show up with one of those driving lawnmowers and flatten everything.
There really isn't any property in the city that isn't owned by somebody. I've been thinking about a couple of parks but if I do that I need to make sure it's big enough that it can't get whacked down. So I've been letting them get to a sapling stage and that's where I'm thinking of putting my plum.

So far the only plant I have that could make that cut off is a big Leaf maple or the plum though.
There's one spot that totally sucks and needs something but it's also got a ridiculous amount of wires that kind of go at just that tree height that's why there's nothing there. I've been growing some lilac that I'm gonna put there because it can't really get to big.

They graft cherries onto what they call a "cannery cherry" root stock which im not real sure what that is.  Kindof a wild gnarly thing.  They do that because they roots are a lot hardier than the grafted genetics.  So ya, growing from seed is generally a challenge.  Same applies to apples, pears, and every other fruit tree that ive ever seen.  Tree genetics still confuse me and i did a whole internship on grafting and pollinating. That doesnt mean it cant be done or that seedling roots are somehow inferior inherently.  Its just how you would produce a shit ton of specimen trees for an orchard if that makes sense.


Ya i like what youre talking about in terms of trying to proliferate native plants (i prefer the term "indiginous")
and its largely what i do for a living.  I destroy lawns and install natives.  Im getting into "meadow" seeding which is cool and something that might interest you. Theres companies that make custom seed mixes for reclamation projects which are typically mandatory in a lot of mining, forestry and DOT contracts.  (Which makes them lacrative as well)

For you, you might consider getting into doing softwood and hardwood cuttings.  Ive invented cloning systems id be happy to talk about.  Environmental systems.  Hot water heated greenhouses with intetmittent misting systems built for the sole purpose of cloning a shit ton ot plants--fast.
