Hi,
I have a large potted shishigashira. Sadly, I am moving to a townhouse with limited outdoor space which I don’t think will accommodate the tree. I am considering putting the tree up for sale or maybe gifting it to a friend, but in the back of my mind I really want to keep it in some form. So, I was thinking of air layering as many branches as possible, and then doing a massive chop to develop the main trunk as a bonsai. The problem is my timeline. I will be moving at the end of June. Question: Will the tree survive a massive cut-back in summer?
