Seedling
I recently placed my hemlock in to a wood container I made. The tree was buried in soil, pretty far (see last photo). I was pleasantly surprised that the flare continued and there was some decent roots I was starting to expose. I brushed and cleaned the surface of the nebari, and noticed a few days later it was quite discolored. When I planted, I kept a good part of the original rootball and soil, which looks to be pretty saturated with iron. I used a mix of 25% akadama, 25% kiryu, 25% pumice, and 25% lava. I have a feeling that eventually the color will fade and bark will form, I could be wrong. Is there anything I can do to help the nebari? Next repotting season I was thinking to remove more of the original soil and replace with my mix. Maybe I should just leave it alone? Thoughts?
Also, if you have any styling suggestions please feel free to add! The main portion is about 78" tall, the smaller trunk is about 36" tall. I'm willing to lose a good portion off the top, possibly jin.
Burried.
