It was collected in 2005 so I do not know, but would say probably about 35 years .KIRKY wrote:Very nice surprise

Re: Pruning prior to re potting
Hi Pup,
Firstly, your Mel's...
Quick question if I can. You titled the thread "Pruning prior to repotting". Just wondering if this is necessary / advised to be done a certain time period before the repot as all you said was soon?
Thanks,
Pearcy.
PS. Those last three close ups are great, especially the one of the bark.
***EDIT*** Just read in another thread that you do them at the same time whenever the tree is active so you can disregard my question. Thanks anyway
