Shohin before and after (From nursery stock)

Here is a little Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Tsukumo' that I did from plain old nursery stock. It was $9 and made a cute little tree in about an hour.

Hopefully he'll have a long life...it's been a week since I potted it and he's doing just fine, so far...

Great little tree! It's just on the wrong side of the pot. It should be far left to balance the lower trunk/branch on the right.

Nice, however conifers usually take about six weeks from go to whoa. So keep you eyes open for any signs of die back.

A-ha... Thanks guys. I thought it looked a little goofy...well if it lives to next year, I'll be sure to swap sides when I repot it...

I thought I was in the clear...6 weeks huh? I'll keep my eye on it. Anything I should do if it starts to look like it's fading on me?

Thanks again,
Adam
