Hello All,
Some of you might remember this San Jose I posted a while ago.. This is a tree that I turned completely on it's side to train as a cascade. It took me about 2 years to come up with a plan for this tree. I almost gave up many times, but I knew there was something in there...
Pic 1 is the tree out of winter storage... Also, I am planning on putting this tree in a rock pot.. If there is a goog back to the pot, it will allow me the cover the stump with a higher soil level that will cover the exposed remains of the root ball was cut off.. The pot it is in right now is just a grow/training pot. The tree did a good job of rerouting the entire way it takes in nutrients...Also, I removed all the dead surface roots on the stump when I did this recent styling.. I never protected the stump because I figured I wanted the exposed roots to all die so the tree would realize that it needed to develop the side of the root ball that was now planted down into the soil.
Any comments are always appreciated ..and if someone has done anything similar to this, I would like to know how it turned out..
Rob
