April 2014

Purchased for $49.99 in a 10-gallon nursery pot. I’m planning to develop this into a formal upright.
March 2015

I had wired most branches slightly downward in 2014 and started on some major branch selection.
April 2015

The branches make nice foliage pads with prolific ramification. The tree would produce a second flush of growth in July.
Trunk Flare

I have been too timid to poke around near the base to check for possible nebari. The fertilizer is Osmocote 14-14-14.
December 2015
Oooooh, frosty.
January 2016

I repotted into a 15-gallon grow bag. The new substrate is diatomaceous earth, red lava, hemlock bark, and some of the existing loam soil. I performed moderate root work and further pulled the branches downward. I’m slowly bringing the healthy and ramified growths back closer to the trunk.
Updates will come when relevant. I need to perform more major branch selection.
