Mame
OK. So, as luck would have it, my mom ran into these by chance... Got a good deal. Starting a thread for them both. I defoliated to see what I had to work with and then I trimmed heavy and wired.
I am pretty sure the tree is completely and totally root bound because when I water, the water just stands on the surface for a few minutes before slowly moving through the pot. I know the Nebari needs
some work but that will have to wait until spring.
Here are my questions for the experts.
1. Are the branches too long? Do they need to be shortened and if so how short and when do I do it?
2. What else needs to be done? Do I need to defoliate it again this year to develop ramification? Or am I putting the cart before the horse?
3. How's the overall height?
More pics are coming!
