Hi, :hi: you can actually do everything I said from the soft stem of the sprouted baby. Cut a slice in the side of the sucker tree add rooting hormone into the break–dampen that moss put it in a small see threw plastic bag ,wrap it around the cut spot, tie it in place. Watch it so if you see it drying before roots show add more water to the moss if you don’t see drying leave it till you see roots–then it off cut below the roots add water to the roots dip in the rooting hormone again and plant in a rich soil. Water frequently. As I said I did three Dogwoods like this in the Summer and the smallest one made it. It bloomed the first time this year! Still a baby only two years old and thee feet tall. But there she is alive and well. Another was is to push the sucker down to the dirt make a cut on the side that is down put rooting hormone on it after the water again leave the top part out of the ground –you will have this laying in the dirt covered at the cut spot with good soil. The side in the dirt will sprout roots but you must keep it watered and then after the roots have sprouted dig them up cut below them and replant as before. No air is the main reason they sprout the roots so keep the air out. Good luck 🙂

Hi :hi: Okay you can try this, under the soil line where the sucker tree is soft cut a little slice in it. Put rooting hormone on the spot add damp sphagnum moss put plastic around the spot. Watch for roots to appear if it looks dried out add more rooting hormone and then re dampen the moss. After the roots are there add the soil. I would wait till spring to cut beneath the root line. Then remove the tree to where you want it add a good soil and yep more rooting hormone to the roots. This has worked for me. You can move the tree earlier but only if there is enough of the season left to get it going before the season ends. Do plan on watering frequently if you move it this season. I have moved them in season but only one out of three made it. So you might want to do a few of them. I forgot when moving dip the tree in water then in the hormone before planting. Good luck. 🙂

Yes you are right. I got the first batch out. Then this was the third I think. I compared them. The second one is a darker color but it is his tail and fringe that are different colors on mine. First one is a gold color the next is a almost brown gold and his front paw is blue not purple like the first one. Lots of differences here. I wish I could post the pictures I took but alas I have not acquired that talent yet.

That is too funny! 😀 And I would do this I am dislexic ? Can’t see or spell either! But a second spay of the Simple purple green almost got it all! Thanks everyone! 😀

All is fine. 🙂 It actually got allot of the stain off! 😀 It was simple green but this was from the dollar store. I forgot I had it this stuff! It is the color of lavender. Didn’t leave a color at all! Actually now it just looks like he is antiqued. The other one is clean now. Still going to try something else and then just leave him alone. Just think I was thinking of skipping the concrete step job and having this guy do it. Not going to do that. After this great tree job –me thinks another mess would be waiting for me to clean up!! 😡 I can make my own messes thank you. :spank: Think the job is mine again. But he almost had me–till the tree job!

Thank you! Jacki55 for posting these! squeek* squeek* squeek*windstonefan
Thank you, LadyFirebird :hi: for another good idea. I have allot to try. I just tried simple green, another suggestion from 49ER but it is dark out now. So I cannot tell if it worked. I am back , no It did not work. I mixed up a batch of hot water, baking soda, and soap and poured it on them. Plus they needed to get all the other stuff off them. Okay the sap is gone now. But the brown stains still remain. 😥 I will check them in the morning. I can’t believe the maple tree saw dust left a color behind. Saw dust is what I brushed off them. When I first started. Never saw this happen before. An I have cut down many trees. But mine of coarse always fell on the dirt or grass. I will try the comet on there faces because they have black marks on them. This I can’t figure out. 😕 Unless it is from the black tree bark? Have a happy 4TH of July today everyone. Me? I got to work. But Money! Money! Money! :shout: Need it to pay for all my recent Windstones!

So if you like, you could PM me with your shipping address, and that way, I wouldn’t have to have them shipped to me, and then to you. 😀
Hey friend what if I get there first? :shout: Send you that lion? 😈 😛

Thank you purpledragonclaw ! 🙂 I bought them on a whim. I was headed to the doctors. Saw them almost did a u-turn. But went to the doctors. Came back and O.M.G. how could I buy just one? :scratch: They are mirror images! Never saw then done like that. Out came the Visa. :yes: I couldn’t choose. So both came home with me. Pictures are worth a thousand words. You should have seen my son face. I backed the truck up to the lawn and told him to wait for me other son to get home. No I can get them. 8) By god that boy is strong. He got them both and put them where they are. I think they will stay. People always say there going to take them home. 😆 Well good luck to that. They need a back hoe and strong pallet to put them on ! I love their manes,they are all sculptured in. That is what is so hard to get at. Plus they look smooth in the pictures but they are not. They have lines like hair on their bodies. They had another one that sat down. I went back this year but times are tough and they didn’t order anymore this year. They have to order by the truck load. Maybe next year. They did look better before all the stains. Still working on that. 😕 Thank you everyone hat wrote me with ideas. I will try them one by one.

Thank you, that might work now that the Sun can reach them. I tried everything to get them clean it didn’t work. 🙄
