Hi Josh , mate they are more than happy in there, I will keep this out of the extreme heat this season for the sake of the tree's . Had to give it a trim last night , Wifey kept telling me it needed a hair cut so i decided to cut all the Nigra's before potting up .
Cheers Alpine

Re: A new rock / pot
A quick trim only, no plucking yet or detailed wire however I have placed a single wire on the new addition
Cheers Alpineart
and a decision to be made to leave them as semi cascade or trim back and wire the leaders back up . With the tree's as the focal point trimming back will expose too much rock .Lessons learned from last seasons heat will see this sheltered somewhat so the new growth should be very good hopefully thickening the leaders so the dont bow down too much under their own weight Cheers Alpineart
