Pics of My Kratom Tree

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. I want to share my happiness here. These pictures were taken shortly after I pruned my M. speciosa tree (you can see the picture of its leaf clippings on the ground).

It's really a pleasure to see a four-centimeter plant has been growing to this size for about... 4 years, I guess. "Torsten, do you remember exactly when you sent me the plantlet?" I salute you who has done a noble thing to help a rare species survive.

By the way, I want to keep pruning this tree so it will not grow too tall. Any idea on how to do that, folks? I need to learn some pruning techniques here.

Here are the pictures:

It's great to see our babies grow up :)

To keep the tree bushy and small always remove the main center growth point. Another one will soon take over, so that gets removed the following year.

Very nice.

Many say it is hard to strike a cutting from this plant. I wonder why.

I wonder what's the adaptiveness to drier conditions?

maybe somewhere like Southern california ?

they seem like they might make a nice shade tree in one of the public parks

lower humidity yes but dry feet -no

i think the problems i had with mine all started with water stress.

It was pointed out fto me that my plants developed some nasty lesions from water stress

these may have been the entry point for the disease that killed all but 1
