I potted this one in September (4 months ago). Since then, half the leaves turned red, it didn’t put out any new leaves in the remaining Spring months, and I’ve generally been worrying about if it’s going to pull through. Which is background.
A few (2 or 3?) weeks ago, I put the pot in a shallow tray of water to help with the summer heat. And unlike the other trees, I left this one in, because the water was very shallow compared to the rest of the pot.
And it turns out Water Gums love water. Who knew? This has really been busy since giving it water access.
I’m generally excited for the possibility of a smaller, denser, younger canopy, which will really make this tree pop.
Also, how are those cuttings going?
