This is a mallsai I acquired in 2011, and after 1 year decided to do some drastic changes.
I had repotted it then and found a very poor root system compacted in what seemed to be some gray clay earth.
The branching was nice then, but there were several scars and bad cuts on the main trunk.
Today I had to repot it because if was getting root bound in the pot with roots leaking out of the drainage holes.
Here's some before and after shots.
I won't post the whole stuff, but for anyone interested, the whole set can be seen here : http://www.flickr.com/photos/xtolord/se ... 7796422633
The when acquired in July 2011.
The tree in august 2011.
Same tree after repotting today.
Removing the undesired branches. The front.
The back.
Close up of the branch. I was initally going to leave the whole branch alone, but decided it was a good opportunity to try to make a jinn out of it.
Close up of the jinn.
The final tree so far.
Future plans:
1. Create a jinn out of the whole left cutout branch / old trunk part.
2. Allow the current green section to grow freely.
Any feedback appreciated.
Cheers X
