Repotted yesterday 04/26/2024. The soil was becoming water resistant after 4 years.
Couldn't expect good outcome if I were out of town and someone else watered my trees for me before and after school.
Thanks it needs a good thinning and wiring again this Summer.
One thing this one has to balance is Sun exposure to keep the 4 colours it displays nicely and moisture level. Hinoki do not fair well in drying winds but the golden varieties need full Sun to look best.
