Today I attented a repotting workshop.
I took both trees.
The malus:
Yesterday, the buds started to swell so today was a good day to have a workshop planned
The highest root has been cut away which resulted in a trunk that can develop in a much better way. The initial root would become too much of a focalpoint.
A larger pot will give the rootsystem enough space to develop nicely the coming years.
Next step: Workshop april 28 on wiring
Prunus:
When I purchased the tree it was wired. As I wanted to prepare the tree for the repotting workshop I removed the wires.
Unluckily, the wires did held some broken branches in place, so when I took the wires of they just fell off...
It is what it is and we'll just move on with what we have.
As this tree allready has a good basic rootsystem we worked on that and also went for a bigger pot.
We'll let the prunus grow without too much work on it.

Harald
