Miracle Grow or Whatever?
« on: January 21, 2009, 05:12:50 PM »
I am looking for a material or fertilizer to make a itty bitty evergreen in my back lot grow to 80 foot tall in two years or less.

Any suggestions?

I should clarify that I would prefer legal substances.

Be careful what you wish for.  Seedlings can be cheap.  Tree cutting and removal never are.

I need more information: 1) about the tree, I assume it's a conifer of some type, so if you have any clue as to what type of conifer it is that would help.  2) about where it's growing, how much sun does it get, what the natural climate/rainfall is like.

And as for 80ft in two years... hydroponics... "maybe"... but since we're talking 80ft here, it might be cheaper to just inject the thing with crack as suggested above.

It is a colorado spruce.  The tree is right next to a pile of B-24 parts, but they are clean and do not block the sun, which it gets a lot of.   It does not get much water till summer.

You do know if you polish up those B-24 parts the sapling could get more sun.  With the reflective qualities of polished aluminum. :aok

I actually think the smoke stack will help with that as I have a very shiney one.
