I like the root in the third image. It has a very pleasant movement. What a nice price.

Looks good!
I love the before / after of a nursery shrub. BTW, 10 Euro = $15 USD. |

What do you have it potted in? It looks pretty wet and heavy.

i think everything that i did in this myrtus,it worked!(perotting,root pruning)
i can see some buds wake up!!i'll keep the tree 1 week more,at the protected area and then i'll give it full sun to explode new shoots(i hope so). i think that is better to live it alone for this year(heavy pruning)what do you think?is this better than trimming all the time? thank you |
