Update on half dozen collected Yaupon Hollies

A little over 60 days ago, I posted about a half dozen yaupon hollies I’d rescued from a construction site at a terrible time of year (early August, mid-90s).

Here’s the latest on them. Some are more vigorous than others, but all have at least some growth. I don’t think this is just trunk energy, it is too strong for that, and it has persisted over too long a period.

It is interesting how some of the leaves have come out purple and stayed purple for like 6 weeks, and some of the leaves are green. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Come spring I’ll get them into boxes and I’ll have a better idea of the nebari opportunities. We did work the nebari quite a bit at the time of collection but it was mostly just about reducing the big stuff.

Then it will be time to start finding new homes for them!

By the way way, here’s the other post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bonsai/s/tPNzqfcHK4
