Another layer separated, the chunky one from a few posts up.
The bottom whittled flat, aftermath at the end of the post…
Screwed gently to a plastic disk before being potted up.
Potted. The plan is to cut it down to the small shoot at the bottom of the thick trunk to build a shohin tree, but the long tall trunkline with the fat base is also an option now that it’s potted.
Planned shohin cutback next spring
The result of 30 minutes of whittling the bottom flat with my small knob cutters. A blister on every finger.
Finally got my shishigashira to later, took forever to grow the few roots you see in the photos. Hope they make it
I’ve got some bigger ones planned for next season, hope bigger branches root easier than these little twigs!
