Groasis update

The first bare root choke cherries I planted were in May 2013. 

Most of these were eaten by deer but one has survived.


Two summers of growth without irrigation- not too bad.

I replaced the choke cherries which the deer had eaten with smaller seedlings. 
These are smaller than what Groasis recommends since they don't come above the edge of the box.


And this is what they look like in October 2014


Still growing and still deep inside the box.

I added more bare root choke cherries this spring (2014)


Once protected from the deer they seem to be hanging on.

If you do a search for "Groasis" on the blog you'll see more detailed entries.
