I grew three Sheoaks in the ground for about 30 months. They were big beasts when I harvested them. So I put them in some large pots and left them to recover.
It didn’t go well. They promptly all lost their leaves and looked dead. Probably I made a mistake in not fully defoliating them. Or in harvesting in summer. Oh well. I’ve half-heartedly watered them since, and mostly moved around them.
Except… what’s that fuzziness around the top?
The persistence of trees when it comes to randomly dying or not dying continues to surprise. the other two don’t have any growth, but that could be because they’re more in the shade. Or they’re dead. I’ll be able to guess in the next few months.
