Mysteriously, my previous posting on Edward was deleted? Whats going with Blogger?
Well, I'm reposting...
Well, Edward arrived May 11th, 2011. Mike from TopTropicals.com, told me via email, that Edward may be 2 years old (starting from the day it was grafting onto its root-stock).

The box Edward arrived in and the way he was wrapped up.
Edward unfurled like an umbrella.
Edward's root-mass.
Edward potted up in a Gro Pot formerly used for Southern Blush. I flushed the soil with water to make sure excess nutrients are leeched out and have a starting Ph I can work with.
Here is Edward in my Kitchen chill-axing. I placed a plastic bag over it as well as pruning off the tip (where branches had been previously pruned off; possibly for shipping). I also washed each leaf with a solution of citric acid to get the mineral deposits off. Took photos with my iPad2 but couldn't post them yesterday night.
Bagged. Pic taken with iPad2.
Tip that I pruned off. See how it had four branches; possibly pruned off at the nursery.
