Imperial Masterpiece
Well the Fustic was entered,
Objective -
A] 3 to 4 inch trunk
B] Heal wound
Result -
! ] Plant was placed in the growing trough as space became available - April -
May this 2018
There was a small back branch.
2] Growth became rampant - pruned back every 2 weeks.
3] Back branch refused to grow.
A defoliation was attempted and even then the back branch with leaves
refused to grow.
So plant was removed from the growing trough and replaced in an oversied
plastic bonsai pot.
Soil was changed to 3.5 parts - 5 mm gravel, 3.5 parts - 5 mm crushed red brick
and 3 parts aged compost.
Also added on was Sifu's idea of just placing the lightly root pruned base directly
on the bottom of the pot.
More later; Will show plant back in plastic bonsai pot.
Good Day
Anthony
In the growing trough before digging - back of tree, to you
Dug out in colander -
roots remained fine
before tidying and replacement in an over sized bonsai pot
