    Japanese Maple, 'arakawa'

    Today, nipped out the center buds. Later in the spring I’ll partial defoliate and prune. This one will actually respond with more growth.

    New Kishu Shimpaku

    Yes, but it is a bit hard to tell what is happening in that area between the second and third branches. Those are a bit bar-branchish at the tilted angle, but wire and some foliage will correct that feel over a year or two.

    Low temp for South East US next week

    Naturally…since I finished repotting last week.🙄

    New Kishu Shimpaku

    I would try to use as much of the tree as you can for now. Changing the planting angle could help, since it looks like it’s leaning backward. Tilt it forward and to the left to bring that first branch on the left side to more horizontal.

    Question on balancing roots and canopy at repot on JM

    That was pretty aggressive root work. I might cut branches back to one node, but more importantly is to get watering right when it does start to grow so the leaves don’t desiccate.

    Italian Cypress foliage appears grey.

    Looks like spider mites. Make sure what you used is actually effective against them.
