Now on to part II.

While I was happy with the progress with the pruning and development of the tree as a whole, the bottom of the tree has suffered greatly since it's captivite in a shallow pot.

When this tree was first potted, the roots showed no signs of protruding from the soil, but the present shallow pot has forced the roots from the pot, and some of them have grown quite large, and even have bark on them! Unfortunately, the tree has no roots at all on the back half of the tree.

The only thing to do is perform a ground layer and try to start over.
