Looking a little skinny up top but not bad for one season growing in the mountains . I am gonig to repot early and give it a nudge inside to see what happens .

Amazing what a nudge will do . Repotted and brought this tree inside last friday today started pushing new growth almost immediately .

This tree has settled into its new pot since early September and has been pushing new growth regularly .I really like the pot tree combo but after this comp, I may put it back into a 'pond' pot and let it run to thicken the branches up a bit . I am tempted to leave it till after leaf drop so I can see it in autumn color . Stands about 12 cm

It's a little bit leggy and it still needs to thicken the branches . But the Autumn colors are glorious .

Lovely little tree and interesting to note the difference in response between the one inside and the one left out

I’ve started to repot . This one was put into a nursery flat last year and left to grow . It grew . I cut the branches in autumn to store for winter . Anyway today .

Hi Kirky . Basically in the nursery flats I use old ‘cleaned up ‘ bonsai mix . Pumice ,diatomite ,zeolite and gravel I add some bark chips . It’s very coarse , over summer they sit on gravel beds and the roots are allowed to escape into it . They are mulched heavily .
It’s kind of like sieve growing ,
