This is the tree as it looks with its little cast on. It looks so sad.
This was alot to put this tree through, and I would not recommend a beginner trying this on their first tree. I do highly recommend trying one or the other technique on a tree. It is very rewarding when things go right, but it can be a very costly learning expierance when things go bad.
Let's hope all goes right! This tree was in peak health, and had lots of 10" long shoots that testify to its strength. I have no worries that this tree won't push roots or give me a strong new root system. The tree should fill the pot with roots by November. I will let the pot stay on through the winter and sever the tree free of the ugly root base next February.
I'll be back, then
Hope you enjoyed my day, Bonsaial
