Progress: Pruning and Repot II.

While I'm at it, I may as well post a couple more repot pics.

This is my E. meliodora (Yellow Box) from the same batch of trees I acquired in June '04. 'Before' pics are below:

January 2005

The story of this tree is very similar to the one in the previous post - growth had slowed to a crawl, and I deemed it time to repot. Again, about 60% of the roots were removed, along with the bulk of the foliage and branches - including the 2nd 'trunk' seen in the 'before' pics. The base (obscured by gravel) is now approximately 50mm across, and the 'nebari' is coming along nicely (you'll have to take my word for that). This tree stands approximately 200mm tall, and has been potted into a cut-down nursery pot with holes drilled in the sides to prevent root-circling.
