May 7, 2009 - IV nutrients for trees
I've seen trees with IVs attached to them all over my city lately! I was happy to see some up close as we walked home from the river. Why? Well, to photograph, of course!
I'm not much on plants, trees, and landscaping although I love the benefits of them. But I've never seen such a practice is USA.
Have any of you seen this before?

Maybe it is because of this?

That is so bizarre, yet very cool! So, is the IV actually going into the tree? Or into the ground/root system? I love to see ingenious efforts like this! If it works, why not?
Still loving your posts about China! The one about tea at the river was great. Since I'll probably never make it to China, it's great to be able to see the "real" China through your blog.

Nope, I have never seen that before either. But it sounds like an idea worth looking into, especially in urban areas where the soil is weak.
May 8, 2009 - Wow...that is really interesting

I have never seen anything like that before. You need to find out what they are trying to do with these trees and let us know. I am fascinated.
I have a friend who is an arborist and I will ask him if he has ever heard of such a thing.
Interesting stuff.

I've heard of root injections here in MN but that sure is something else. I'm not sure what they could be injecting into the roots. Something new to learn I suppose!

Wow...I've never seen that. I'm curious to know what the purpose is.
I always enjoy the unusual China snapshots you share on your blog. It brings back fond memories of when my hubby and I were in China for two weeks adopting our daughter.
Thanks for sharing!
