Hi Craig

Could you tell us what sort of potting medium you are using? It looks very round and uniform... not what you normally see unless it was just a top covering layer of something.

Thanks

Stew :)

:gday: Stew, it's just ordinary potting mix and 12mm expanded clay(only thing i could get quickly), i've used so much akadama this year i'm all out.
When i repot this tree you'll notice different growing medium, Cheers mate :tu2:
