Sunday, February 24, 2013. A quick update on the trident maple development project. We have grown tridents in the field, in root control bags, for 2-3 years. We then transfer them to Anderson trays to refine and expand the nebari. Here is a trident just removed from the Anderson tray. The roots are raked, pruned and washed to get to this next picture. This promotes further growth and fusion. Tuesday, July 3, 2012.

In the open garden, it is crocus time, and the first. Nine seedlings of the exotic oncocyclus species.

The Ministry Blog of Ti and Raluca Chase. Thank God someone finally made a film about this. I hope it gets the attention it deserves, but I highly doubt that it will.

I have continued to be utilized as a speaker both at church and mini.
