Whack a tree I didn't, round pots I use, post photos I can't, when just type I can.
Oops I did it again...

If you're new here, don't ask about soil, fertilizer or say Dario 3x in a single post.

I was thinking of putting an alter ego on here. Someone I can be a dick to and not feel bad. But then I thought to myself I do that anyway.

Oh, I'm still banninated. No auctions for me. Even if you did snipe me, at least I'd know the item had a good home.Careful, or snipe your next auction I will!
Besides, I just bought one of Julian's zuishos. I'm broke!

Forgot. Well, let me know when you're back and you can shill up a few things for me
Let's see that Zuisho! The grafted one I bought from Brent hit the 10-year mark last year, and that's when they're supposed to take off. The trunk is now about 2". Maybe in a couple years I'll make a decision and start pruning/selecting primary branches.

It's an airlayer that Julian took in 1998. It's been always kept in a pot. At least one major branch was approach grafted, I haven't had time to do a close inspection.
Julian swears by his micro-nutrients for these things. So I got some. He's as adamant about them as Smoke is for Humates.
Really...displaying your trees in a flower bed??...c'mon Adair you need to pony up for a display area! Nice trees need more respect than that!!
Will be interested to see how this tree takes the transition from straight turface to Boon mix??
I have one of Julian's Zuisho airlayers as well...not as old as yours...no bark yet

That zuisho looks like a beauty! I was going to say, be careful, that thing is probably planted in turface 
Be curious to see how the root system looks.
Be curious to see how the root system looks.Lol. That's where I plopped it when I got home.
Actually, I'm moving everything to the wintering spot, which is behind the shrubs you see, and next to the foundation.

Then hammer the nebari and the lower part of the trunk some more? Would that work? I bet it would.

That goes without saying!
It will probably get some. After I've wired it out the regular way. It appears that Julian has wired it in the past. There's evidence of old wire scars. That have mostly healed over. When that happens, it makes the branches a little thicker and stiffer.
Yeah, Julian is the go to guy for zuisho, just as Jim Gremel is for Atlas Cedar.
Oh, JohnG... We just got finished with a major deck project, and I have some left over lumber, so I plan to use it to make a respectable display area. My wife has laid claim to all the best locations around the house for her organic gardens. She is extremely sensitive to most of the pesticides that normal grocery store produce has, so she has to grow her own.
Yep, turface it is. He told me he uses 80 percent turface, 20 percent peat. I used to use turface, back in the day.That zuisho looks like a beauty! I was going to say, be careful, that thing is probably planted in turface
I don't know if I will repot it next spring or not. It was last fine in April 2013, so is a little early yet.
One of the reasons I bought it was because it's an airlayer. So, it should have radial roots.

Hope so. I've seen this one before and the base looks like it's collapsing under its own weight, creating a very unstable look from this planting depth. It would be cool to uncover a nice radial spread under the surface. Hope you have lots of wire!
