First, If you try growing in trees, I hope that you have the very best of results possible. However, it really sounds like a hell of a lot of effort per plant to me. Take it from someone who has tried just about every kind of spot for more than 10 yrs now, the best spots are in thick brush. Thick brush, thorns, vines, blackberries, etc. Stuff thats thick and nasty and that nobody is going to go walking through it for no apparant reason. Places that are snake magnets, insect infestations, poisen ivy, etc. Places that you can go in and clear out a small patch and do it without being seen from outside of it. Your best friends are a shovel, a pair of sharp pruning shears, a small hand type tree saw, and most important a pair of thorn proof chaps. Clear out and dig up a patch big enough for like 1-3 plants. Stay away from swampy areas too, its nothing but mold problems at the end of it all. I hope you have good results wherever you decide to plant.
wow cool topic, if i move to a house with trees in the back yard, ill try this, but ill probably just mount big pots up in the foliage
waaay to much effort i tink! not worth it! :) plus if u fell out the tree stoned and some 1 walks past by chance its more than slightly obvious lol
It's a nice dream but nearly impossible to do just for the water transportation alone. I'm sure that 2 week old plant that died went from lack of water rather than too much as dead wood is very porous. You guys just can't stick a plant in the ground and expect it to grow on its own. It'd be nice but it just doesn't work like that. It takes a lot of thought and planning (reality-type planning over the pipe dream kind) to bring in a crop, not to mention time, sweat and a few bucks always helps too...
i grow in pine trees, and i've been doing it for six years. there are 2 gallon hanging bags you can buy that have five holes for plants to grow out of, i tape em all closed but the top one. fill it with fox farm ocean and take em to the top. i put two plants in each tree and i mostly use feminzed seeds for this. put a bucket at the top with two hoses runnin down to your plant bags, if it dosen't rain for a week or so just go water em, other than that the bucket will catch rain water.
you may think this is alot of work, but it's not, i check my plants prolly four times a summer on average, and i've never seen a deer climbing a tree.
i've lost more pot to deer than i have to assholes
