Re: Dwarf Red Growth Rate
That makes sense. I’m only two miles from the beach in Southern California. So my summers are mild. The plant grows fine but it is one of my slowest growers.

Re: Dwarf Red Growth Rate
I decided to pull the two largest pups off of this plant today. It turns out that about half of the roots had nematode damage. I am assuming that it was from last winter, when I had the pot laying directly on the soil in my hoop-house. The yard in our last rental had a very mushy, wet, yard. Nematodes probably crawled up through the holes that I drilled in the bottom of the pot. I usually have them sitting on two 12" 2x4's so that they are up high. Luckily, my other plant were up on wood during that time, and they are all still growing fine.
I pulled all of the Reds out of that pot, and treated the corms with very hot bleach water dips. I pruned the roots before that as well. I'd say that the main corm's roots had an infection rate of 25%. That pot will probably be filled with French Marigolds. Nematodes hate them, and it will help starve the next generation of Nematodes once they hatch. |

Re: Dwarf Red Growth Rate
I bought a dwarf red tissue culture less than a year ago and it is now around 6ft tall. The P stem is dark red. Like a lot more red than other trees pictured in this thread. It is growing at a decent rate but still slower than most others I have.

Re: Dwarf Red Growth Rate
Thanks they are nice looking for sure. It is really warm here. 15 miles inland 1200ft. I think the sweet spot for most stuff is 5-10 miles inland. We are kind of on the edges of what is too mild and too warm.
