(((Disclaimer... Seedlings... Sunburnt seedlings... don’t be alarmed.)))
So in my first year bonsai “fever“, I had started a “wedge” of Pomegranate seeds.. indoors. So they got a little “leggy”..
Then late april early may I placed them outside.. two-stepping, if necessary.
Now I learned MUCH about the sun’s dynamics in relation to “greenstuffs”... in other words I sunburnt, quite severely. (Many good troops were lost)..
Punicas were among these...
Upon being burnt.. their growth ceased, almost entirely.
It was not until this week that I could realistically say that they “bounced”. So today, I decided to “clean up” some of the burnt leaves and do some maintenance pruning on these specimens to clean that sun-burned slate and set them on their way...
They were about 6 months old when the “incident” ocurred.
(Dangit.. rained out.. I did not get to all of them.. but they are coming... the LAST two images are the cuttings i “harvested” from these same plants, at four months old...The rest are “before and after”s)
