    Is it a fungus or just the tree corking up?

    Should I buy this shimpaku?

    Why does 180 seem high price ? Thats about 130 quid I would say its definitely worth that. Its only pocket money for a tree that with some work would make a nice tree In The not to distant future

    Repotting after a repot?

    If you can do it without disturbing the roots too much then do it. I live in Worcestershire in malvern and the weather is still frosty we have had 2 frosts in a row and down to -4 at 6am thismorning. Repoting should be done at the last possible minute here in the UK especially with acers wait...

    MIRAI YATSUBUSA ELM

    Yeah its a bit crazy and if your not carful can suddenly have numerous shoots come up from all over the place lol its definitely one to check on once a day in the growing season lol But on the plus side it was easy to rework and adjust as you can guarantee a shoot will pop up where you want it too
