Brian, what’s the orientation to the sun? When u clear it out in the summer how hot is it in there? Also if you are interested I figured out that u can use the gh frame to make some mobile booms to support vines like passionfruit, it would work really well if one of your walls is on the south side. They are up out of the way, but can be lowered to prune/train.

It sounds like it’s difficult but doable. Once the season rolls around (whenever that is) i might pick up some seeds or seedlings.

In case anyone wanted an update on my defoliated Florida Langsat, here is a photo of some of the new leaves it is working on.  This plant grows extremely slowly in South Florida and the new growth gets damaged by wind very easily.  Also, the new growth gets absolutely devastated by aphids and the ants that farm them.  Big Island Grower, how is your defoliated specimen doing now? Did it recover?
Mike T, thank you for sharing all your knowledge on this species with me, I truly appreciate it.

I grafted (2) Sangue E Latte Mulberry scions in late January onto my Dave Wilson Persian Mulberry (Morus Nigra) in a #7 pot and both took well and are puting on new growth (See Attached Photo). The two grafts have yellow tape and are easy to identify.

I also grafted sever other Sangue E Latte scions on my Oscar mulberry tree in the ground and they seem to be doing fine. I scions were harvested fresh from my SEL in the ground so that might have helped with the sucess rate for my grafting.

Not sure why you'd move from pots to root builder. The outside tree's roots will just take over the RB pots.

There is a way to rid the GH of outside roots without taking out the trees. Trench around the GH about 3-4ft deep. Install heavy duty root barrier into the trench. That way your GH trees can root into the ground without competition.

This is my opinion too. Big trees are greedy and will root right into your pot, stealing all the water and nutrients. They love to root in especially during winter when your GH is warm. They'll even do this to regular pots with small holes on the sides at my place. I have to regularly move plants around to break the connection before it gets bad.
