I would kill that tree if it was in my collection, no doubt 🤣. As for mine, your feedback is spot on. I need to get the rootball flatter…which I hope to do over time, as @Paradox mentioned.

Repotted the hinoki yesterday. Was still digging out dirt/soil from 5 years ago. It was a rather aggressive repot, fingers crossed it responds well. 🤞

RIP to a legend.

Repotted a few weeks ago.

It’s probably hard to tell, but the old pot was huge. Probably twice the size. The current pot is a great size (actually a touch too deep), just not the color or shape I’d like to see. The old pot was also super heavy. I can actually move the tree around now without breaking my back!

Repotted. I don’t love the pot choice, but I didn’t have anything else in that size. Oh well, now I can be on the lookout for something that will work better.

Have I shared how much I hate this tree? 🤣

Nope. Selling everything.

A quick video of my recent visit to Eisei-en. Gonna miss Bjorn and his amazing garden 😢 https://www.instagram.com/reel/C0aq8S6NxmF/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

FWIW they are very open about it in their videos. I don’t get the sense they are trying to pull one over on us. I fully understand what I’m purchasing.

Can confirm no grafts. Not sure if the Yatsubusa characteristics are strong with this one or not. Feels like the leaves and internodes could be smaller. But it’s young and obviously not received any training. For $40, I think it’s a good deal. Shipped very quickly and well boxed. Would...

A new monkey pole and a new home for this American hornbeam, which I quite like how it’s developing.

I did a little work on this double trunk Shimpaku today.

Very nice. I assume the tree responded well this growing season. Any recent photos? I typically see the ebihara technique used in connection with a box. Any plans to use a larger / flatter container next repot?

Decandled this year. Pulled needles a few weeks ago. Detailed wired today. Progress.
