California Incense Cedar

California Incense Cedar

3/2018: I collected this as a small sprout in Trinity Co in 2014. It has been growing in the ground in my yard since then.

This year I chopped the trunk and bent a branch up to become the new leader and it seems to have survived that so far.

I will leave it to grow and heal for another year or two before moving it to a pot.

2/5/19: The trunk is thick enough at the base now so I collected it into a large wood box to help ensure it’s survival. The new leader experiment worked but ended up being angled so we’ll see how it goes.

  1. It’s been 10 months! Updates!? I’m dying to know whether that semicircular wound fuses. If it does, I definitely want to use that technique in the future.
