Mame
i was wondering if someone can tell me whens a good time to repot an ume and how much roots can i take off?
I was looking at mine today and I noticed a few holes on the leaves. I looked closer but I couldn't find any bugs. I'll take a photo tomorrow
What's the best way to treat it?Shothole fungus.

In my experience, Ume, being a member of the Rose family, tend to be afflicted by multiple insects and fungal maladies. By this time of year, the leaves start to look a bit ratty here and there, but more so on the trees I have growing out in the yard. If the damage is sparse, I honestly wouldn't concern myself with it too much, but continue to monitor until leaf drop this fall. Fwiw, I have started dressing the soil of my potted Ume with granular Clearys, a systemic anti-fungal, each late winter as they break dormancy. So far, so good.I was looking at mine today and I noticed a few holes on the leaves. I looked closer but I couldn't find any bugs. I'll take a photo tomorrow
Very minor damage, so I wouldn't worry about this.Here are some photos
I get small damage like this on my trident maple quite often. It never seems to lead to anything too serious but what could be some of the causes of this type of damage?Very minor damage, so I wouldn't worry about this.

Looks like you lost a couple significant branches that have resulted in a thought to redesign the tree? If you want a project, you could chop it and make the first right branch a new section of trunk. Though, it really doesn't solve the problem. What's there looks healthy, and in fact, it looks like you'll have flowers this winter.Sort of off topic but I'm struggling with the styling of this thing? The first photo is the front that I picked out. I feel like there is an ugly gap in between the foliage. The second photo is the back. And the third is where I'm contemplating to trunk chop it. Any opinions? I don't have much experience with styling so anything helps.
What could possibly go wrong?I’m going to follow this care guide I found on the internet
And that’s the problem with just following something you found on the internet. I don’t understand the logic of following a guide that leaves you still asking the most basic of questions while disregarding people here who have experience with ume and a willingness to help you.It says to cut back after flowering. How hard can I cut back? Do I only cut back the green stems or can I cut back to the woody part of the branches?
