I've noticed a few small leaves on my trident are really struggling to grow, is there any common reason for this?
This is the growth without any fertilizer, is that the reason maybe?
or has it been focusing on the outer foliage and almost skipping these smaller leaves?
They are a similar green colour to the rest of the older foliage and you can see a few of the other new leaves for comparison.
Also I know the tree looks a bit of a mess at the minute my plan is to learn its growth habits before I start any serious work, all i've done is wire branches and balance one of the thick lower branches. (ill show the cutting I took, its putting out new growth as I type!)
If anyone has any ideas on where to go next with the tree id appreciate it a lot, I also wouldn't be totally against starting over and putting it in the ground. (taper is alright but it could be better)
