Honeysuckle #1 -- History
I bought this little bush in December of 1996 from a nursery in
Michigan. I bought it along with an elm and a fig cutting. (These
three are the only trees I ever bought or plan to buy.) This picture
is really poor, unfortunately. Honeysuckle are great beginner trees
for growing inside. They tolerate a wide temperature range, humidty
levels and light levels; cuttings root very easily; new buds form
everywhere all the time; and they grow quite quickly.
The next picture shows the tree after its first repotting. I was
planning to grow the tree into a wind-swept style over the rock. I
have grown the tree into that style, but I don't have it growing over
the rock anymore.
February, 1997
Here is a set of design sketches showing what I had planned to do with the tree. I did do that, and recent pictures should be posted here soon.
