bonsaiTALK Community - View Single Post - Curling Palmatum leaves...Why?

Hello again,

It has been a week and in this time I have put the tree with the root pad completely undisturbed into a large grow box I built. It's remarkable how quickly these trees can let you know that something is wrong, and equally, that something is right. The grow box is large and it's bottom is almost entirely open mesh (vaguely reminiscent of the Vance Wood design). I fed the tree lightly with 0-10-10 and applied a 0.5ml-to-4 litre dilution (about half strength) of SuperThrive after the initial transfer of the tree. I rigged four steaks around the grow box and hung a burlap wind/sun shade that seems to be performing well. Colour is coming in nicely. Hopefully it lasts the winter.

Thanks again,

J. Wolfe
