Growing tree's in a tree

for starts you should never use clear plastic or light colored plastic like that white one either. you dont want light to get to your root systems. let em go in the till you see roots on the edge then get em outta there and into better pots. also its always a good idea just to start them in 1 gal planters this way you can let them get good and established and real healthy then transplant them to 3-5 pots. this way the shock from transplanting will be very minimal if any shock at all. I usually just lurk in the shadows around here but i been seeing this way to often lately and is becoming quite regular. if them aint fem seeds you really gotta watch this stuff or you will be ending up with a high male to female ratio. anyways as soon as you see roots making it to the edge of the soil/plastic transplant them. if you can go straight to your final pot size. stressing them this young is enough let alone stressing them multiple times trying to get up to a decent size pot. btw, when you transplant make sure to steralize the new pots good. this can be done simply by taking the new ones putting them in the kitchen sink under hot water and washing them with DISHSOAP not any other kind of soap. i would venture to guess you'll be doing this in about 2 1/2 - 3 weeks. also for the time being put some hole in the bottom of them containers for drainage if you havent already done so.

Now that is different. In a tree...haha

I would like to see you complete the whole grow in the tree. Send picture.

How far off the ground are you? I use to climb one of the highest trees in the near by woods and cut the top off of it about 10 to 15 feet from the very top then screw my Green 5 gallon bucket directly to flat spot through the bottom of the bucket. Haul up all the soil and two plants with a rope. Plant, water and leave it to mother nature to do the rest. Sometimes I won sometimes I lost. Many variables up that high wind is a big one along with lack of rain and heat. Birds were never a problem and no one ever found them.

Yea my friend let me know about the no clear containers (after I already planted), so I researched it and for the most part that's what everyone said but I found one guy who use's straight 2gal clear soda bottles with no effects and actually yielded more in a clear one than a non-clear. I plan on putting them straight into 5gals. The soap will not kill roots, and or nutes?? (sounds iffy)

The branch is nearly at the top, pretty high and I read about people cutting the branches off, but im not in the woods and there are houses near-by so the more camo the better in my case, but I was thinking about doing SOME trimming

By all means trim above them. Can you water regularly?

This puts having trees in the yard into a whole new perspective.
