What's with all the roots reaching out of the pot? I'm not familiar with this species. Great looking trees.
Thanks. The roots certainly are adventurous. I got that first tree and started working it right away. I’m trying to let this new one I got grow out a little more first. It had so many roots coming out it had attached itself to the pallet but I had to move everything out of the way of the roofing crew, so I had to remove most of them. My new roof is done now so I’m slowly getting everything back in place. I did manage to keep the one big root that I’ve got in the terra cotta pot. Trying to allow it to thicken the trunk more, when I go to repot I will try to graft some foliage on the root.
The roots only get like that after the tree has been in the same pot a while. It has been 4 years since I repotted the bigger one. I’ve clipped off a couple of them.
