First signs of budding on the Female An Hai
you made me hop out of my desk chair and go check mine. Looks like 5 or 6 varieties of female trees will make it but not the male. Very happy and thanks for all those doling out advice

See a graft line?I believe a few are, hard to tell because more than half the labels of my trees fell off in transit and it’s a guessing game on most of them that said, I have a few that are grafted and labeled as male. I hope they make it.
Nice thesimsdude!I am a bit worried about Joe's comments in the previous video touring his place about trees that flush early (namely that they seem to die back and early flushes are a "last gasp") but you should have some grafting material at a minimum-My tips are staying green over here and have some hope for new growth but hard to tell if I have anything like what you are showing under the parafilm
I think as long as you maintain high humidity and keep shaded, the buds and new growth can continue to grow fine. It's like when new cuttings send out leaves before they have had a chance to grow roots. I mist with a very diluted spray of seaweed so they can absorb some nutrients through their bark and leaves. I had a couple plants leaf out pretty quickly last time and they continued to grow into healthy plants. I don't remember having plants that took months to start growing buds and leaves like Joe.Janet
Here is an informative article from Australia. In the longest section under questions at the end, the nursery says they "have no trouble growing them from cuttings" and elsewhere they mention some trees will be both male and female.https://stfc.org.au/articles/myrica-rubra-the-red-bayberry-2/Janet
Can anyone provide some guidance as to what mold under the parafilm will look like?Does this look like it? specifically the dark banded portionsOn a more positive note I think I am seeing some growth on one of my crystal

So does anyone have a verdict on when to unwrap?I have some buds pushing growth now- but no method of humidity control otherwiseI unwrapped here because i was worried about that leaf browning
UH OH GUYS, I see a weird type of infection on some of the trees I’ve never seen before, looks like fungus or spores growing all through the buddy tape on a few trees, take a look, I’m going to cut them down to the rootstock and burn them
