yea good point. i would say just go ahead and grow it in the tree, and then when the leaves change color find a spot on the ground to grow; if you want.
but i think that you could just leave it in the tree the whole time, as long as the trees not in a people populated area.

bugs: i would say its less of a problem. i mean sure there will be bugs, but there are alot more bugs on the ground. (bugs stay close to moisture, which is at the ground)
if you grow in a tree, just spray the lower branches/leaves with an organic pesticide. or something else that keeps bugs away.
also you should go ahead and pee at the base of your tree,this will keep away any unwanted creatures from climbing your tree. anytime you have to pee while your in the woods...pee on yo tree:)

wind: yea, on some days your plant might have to go through a little bit of turbulance. so just make sure your soil base is mounted up well. if your plant is of good size, the wind shouldnt hurt it.

peace out

yea the ice storm tip is basically. even if the tree looks fine after the storm trees can be weakend for the rest of the year by the ice. There will be more down branches during thunderstorms.

If you guys are worried about the trees changing color and leaves falling off of them, just use an evergreen. Pine trees are easy to climb and if you have ever climbed one, you should have noticed that the branches out of the main trunk grow out next to each other, making for a solid, level mounting base.

It seems that bad wind/rain storm would seriously fuck your shit up. I live in the mid atlantic region. An area that has pretty tame weather, and even some of the storms around here get real violent. Just picturing a potted plant at the top of one of those trees during a storm makes me very hesitant to try this. Well, the area I live in is infested with deer, so who knows.

Eh i dont think they'll mind the wind I do think you'll need to find a big tree lol and weight/strap the pot down

and today in other news, rouge buckets containing marijuana plants have been seen falling from tree tops. police urge you to look out for falling pot plants.


i just could not see how this is really a feasable method of outdoor growing.

I'm not closed minded I would just find somewhere easier to grow than a tree top. i've had the idea before but never had to resort to it. just get out and find more places to grow.

i thought i was the first one to think of that.hm. just one question. when you lower your plant and water it. then u raise it again.
1. how are you going to keep the bucket straight while it raises? and even more so when the plant gets big. if the rope is off ballance, then the bucket will tilt. the plant might snag. and it would be hard.
if you wanna trim half the tree off, then maybe.
i would find tree with ivey on it. put the plant at the top. put a clear vynil hose going from your plant to the ground(manipulate the ivey to encourage growth to hide it.) every time you come to the plant just bring some water and a hand pump. like hand opperated petrol pump.

also, if the tree is fat and you cut a hole say at a fork near the top you could drill an irrigation chanel at an agle so that it could drain(sorry if this is hard to picture) and use shaman's burlap sack idea and just put some soil and a plant in the sack and the sack in the hole. the wound in the tree would leak water from inside the tree(i dunno for how long though)

That is usually when you should harvest any ways. If the leaves are changing the nights are getting colder and those buds should be ready.

what if you move the plant down in side the tree more that would stop most of the wind you may have to cut some limbs out above to let sun in but that should work i'm going to give it a try this year with a few of my plants and i think i might screw it to the tree because if you just wedge it in the limbs the wind might move the limbs and down comes your plant just a few thoughts it might work or it might not but i'm going to try it

just attatch the rope to the bucket handle. and hang it so it hangs straight, and then just L.S.T your plant so it curves around the handle, then grows straight up again.
i would also make it so your handle cant move, like center the handle above the bucket, and somehow make it stay that way.

also it wouldnt be that hard to make it so the burlap sack is mounted well. and i dont understand why everyone thinks there will be so many wind problems. just pick a good, big tree, with lots of strong branches, and low branches.
i mean if you decided to grow in a pine tree or something, then your plant might get trashed a little; so just find a larger tree.
you could also use a support stake, and shove it into your soil and loop it around the stem of the plant....this will hold it in place.

how do you water the plants. i have heard of baloon type bubles that leak water out slowly and water the plant and you have to refill them about every 2 days. if these are real what are they called. i would like to start growing in trees but i need a way to water the plants.

fill milk jugs with water. wear a back pack. put jug in back pack.....start walking....then go climb a tree.
and water.

if your plant is on a pulley system, then you could just use colapsable buckets, and leave the buckets out somewhere, where they can gather rain water. then carry it to your grow tree, and water.


as for tree height, i wouldnt go too Huge. unless you have no fear of heights. i would say that any tree is fine, as long as the top of it gets light.
alot of tall trees dont have low branches, unless its a pine..which doesnt work well.
