Out of experiance i now know that it is always better to transport them wraped up safely, and put them in a trainings pot when you get home. This way there is les changes for root damage . The next photo's are shot in my garden two days later. You can see that a lot is cut off and only the necesary branches are saved for my design, this drastic pruning also promotes heavy backbudding, if you leave a strong bud near a large cut, it will not only make the wound heal quicker, but several buds wil appeare around the wound in the near future, so you more or les know where new branches are going to apear, that you need for your design! If there are no buds near the wound you have to make sure to leave a little stump, so that the brange has a little room to dry back, while the sapestream has time to recover!
If you dont do this you might loose whole branches or worse.

More to come.
