Nice! I should learn how to get cuttings of trees to take. We were just talking about what other trees we might like to add, fruits, nuts mayhaps. I always love the Japanese maples, so beautiful, and only have the one (for the time being).

If your gonna water a tree you might as well be able to eat from it sea,Im looking at planting a mini orchard of about a dozen fruit and nut trees,there are some pretty big pistachio farms out in the middle of the desert so a few of those will be included too,all those big tree farms out by irwin are pistachios,good eats.

Oooohh... and date palms, too! Medjools!

I agree with you, fish, which is why we're planting edible or medicinal plants for the past couple of years. Permaculture, as much as we can rock it. :D

Saw the strangest thing on Facebook a couple of weeks ago, it talked about taking cuttings of roses and rooting them in a potatoe. You just poke a hole in the potatoe, stick your cutting in it and you're good to go. Apparently, the potatoe keeps the cutting moist enough until it roots. Never tried it tho....

was out doing some ligght yard work/cleanup and noticed my jap maple has exploded! Ill get some new pics up and add to the thread. Time to see about taking some cuttings too, specially since my cannabis cutting has been sucking....... Ours is a japanese red fancy(I think) and now since spring has started they have hundreds of new leaves opening up :D
