Tree: Princess Flower, Tibouchina semidecandra, native of Brazil, link

Obtained: Airlayed in front yard Dec 20, 2011

Pix: 2011-12-20: The fresh airlayer. Take-out soup container, side slit and with a hole cut at the bottom. Container is locked in place with wire to the third/right-most branch. You can see some red lava rock at the bottom, then the rest is stuffed soaked spaguim moss; with a few more rocks on top to hold it in shade it. Black plastic for dark root growing might be better. Other pix is also of the airlayer - you can see it within the tree while we see the whole tree in front of the house.

'Tajsa modeling for scale, though you can see the house... Note the hack job the constructions guys did on this (and the bogenvia).


Roots!
