Finally had a bit of free time and got some soil into the pot with the tree, something that is high moisture retention, so hopefully it comes trough and puts out some growth to shown signs of life.

well, the top 20-25% of the soil dry out in the sun, while the remainder stays very moist (i dont use the wet to describe it because there is no standing water... but it's as wet as can be without it being a puddle)

Did I kill this tree? really? I moved it into an akadama/lava rock mix in early January, and it put out a few shoots (that dried out and fell off in like a 10-15 day period) and since then it has been bare... So last night, I make a small cut in the trunk, dont see any green, and there was...

he states that he mulches it in the winter... doubt hes doing that indoors... Sounds like an outdoor tree to me.

How long was the tree in that pot as of 2007?

LOL, That might work.

I was exhausted from fighting with the roots yesterday, but that was actually done this morning. I smoke a lot of cigars, manage a cigar store, and for some reason just like that picture. I don't mean it to insult or upset anyone, so if I do, just send me a PM and I'll change it.

I'm kind of afraid to do that because it gets a lot morning/early afternoon sun, so it would be in very warm water for most of the time... Other than that, I did think about it, and am still considering it if I can get it out of direct sunlight for part of the day.

Took the tree to my parents house to clean up the roots and get it into a flat pot so that I don't have to do it when there is real structure to the tree and destroy branches, and I'm glad I did. It took me close to 2 hours with a saw (hand), my hands, cutters and the hose to clean up the...

Are they supposed to be putting out growth now? I though it would not start till some point next year... there are a few buds on the trunk, and a 2 inch growth (2 days) from one of the branches.

I went ahead and chopped the tree down a big chunk, way below where I originally intended to, but I think in the long run this will work best. I also made a small channel on top of the branch, and fit the branch that will grow as the new top in there. I'm hoping that in a few years it will...

This little tree has a lot of potential. I think that if you change the angle which it is planted and bend the branch that is now the top a bit and grow it out, it can look like quite a nice cascade... Please forgive my crap photoshop, but you get the idea...

I'm in Miami, so I'll wait till late December or January to do some root clean up and get it into some better soil, and maybe a wider pot to start getting the roots shallower hopefu Ly cutting off very little. Thanks

Yup, Im gonna have to wait till I can get over to my parents house, and takea a hose to clean of the roots and see what's down there... Can't do that on my balcony. I'm trying to see what the best time of the year it is to do that, and just prune off the really thick roots... I know it has a...

How thick is it?
