A year cycle in the life of ...... at Mooring Hitch This tree is new to the yard. I applied Mycorrhizal fungi (MycoGrow Hydro) to the soil around the roots at the time of planting. The ONLY surviver after the hurricane flood 2011 of the group of conifers I planted last year. It is in a hidden place after replacing bushes around it. It will be re-located in fall 2012. http://www.fungi.comshapeimage_3_link_0
