The lower sun angle does a less drying out and keeps soil temps more conducive than late May and def into early June. That being said, you do need the discipline to water daily in drought conditions like we’re experiencing. Same discipline but better results is my take. I usually put down straw to help lock in moisture and protect the seed if the area is big enough. EZ straw works well for small areas, stuff sticks like glue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First we got .09" this morning and with a shower last hour another .21". I don't know how far that would get into the soil but now I have the sprinklers on. Maybe with a bit of moisture in the topsoil this will help a bit more. By the way 2 of those chestnut seedlings we planted several years ago are doing great. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryslot Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago One of the daycare kids split the uprights on my Key Lime Citrus tree kicking a ball and snapped a branch at the crotch, So i'm going to try to graft it back together, Sucks because it just took off after re potting.

How large is the branch? Was it a complete break or is some cambium still attached? On bigger splits some people drill through each side and kinda clamp it together. Or you could use a couple ratchet straps and get it tight. If it’s a small tree, nevermind. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s a small tree, nevermind. lol It is a small young tree 2', It still has some cambium attached, I used some grafting tape and are supporting it with a dowel, I hate to cut it off as its the top of the tree, But if it doesn't take i will have to prune it off, I'm finishing up a small greenhouse to winter them in as i have no room in the house and don't need my cats eating the leaves although those thorns are quite painful as i found out.................... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
