It seems to be the time of year for these around here.
I impulse bought this little one about a week ago while walking home from brunch. It was in a flower shop for $15.
Why I like it:
I found this one at a garden centre yesterday. $27, and a much thicker trunk.

I impulse bought this little one about a week ago while walking home from brunch. It was in a flower shop for $15.
Why I like it:
- I wanted a Myrtle
- The lowest part of the trunk has a bit of movement and could be interesting
- Too thin for it's height
- Pom-pom foliage ball
- Air layer at the red box
- Make two mame/shohin
I found this one at a garden centre yesterday. $27, and a much thicker trunk.
Why I like it:
- Nice hefty trunk, for a myrtle
- lowest part of the trunk has a swoop/curve going on
- Might be good for 3 smaller trees
- Trunk height/thickness ratio is off
- Big pom-pom too high up
- Middle section of trunk has some ugly pruning scars
- Air layer at the red box
- After the air layer comes off, chop at the red line to eliminate the nasty section
- Grow it out into a shohin slanting/informal upright.
- Remove the moss in the pot and see if it will grow in it's own pot for possible later use
