The Acer palmatum and Pinus thunbergii seedlings are all growing well. Also 9 out of 72 cells from the Pseudocydonia sinensis tray have a seedling growing now. None of the Zelkova Serrata and Acer Buergeranum germinated.

I cut the trunk of Ficus microcarpa #1 just above the first branch (one year later I can say it reacted very well). I also shortened the branch of Olea europaea #1.

I prunned Acer palmatum #1 and Acer buergerianum #1 at leaf fall.

I drilled two holes in the trunk of Acer palmatum #1 and moved two branches through them to try to graft them (next Spring they didn't leaf out, the buds dried out).

I did a branch selection pruning on the latest Chinese orm.
