Well the tree has decided to have a very minimal flowering season this year... so I went ahead with doing a partial repot at this point. I wanted to find the base... I don't know that I have ever seen such babyfine rootage on a tree.... and wow did I find the base... about three inches under the moss and soil.
I changed the planting angle... decided that removing the left branch was a must... because you couldn't see the trunk (bonhe will be please I think...
). I significantly shortened the right first branch to put the tree back in balance afterwards.
A friend snagged this shot of it for me. I've got a new camera, and couldn't get a shot I love of it to save me life. lol DSLR is a whole new world.
Good thing I am stubborn.
Anyway I photoshopped the tree to look more like it's current state and thought you all would enjoy a sneek peek at how the tree is coming.
Oh yah... and I love the pot... others may not care for it... but I adore it. Can't go wrong with cream on a flowering tree... and it's as ornate and feminine as this tree is.
Kindest regards,
