. It has been covered up by bigger ground growing material so it should take off or brown off.

It will continue to be trimmed regularly over this season to build on the ramafication . I plan to leave a sacrafice shoot up in the apex to thicken the leader , more than happy with the shape of the tree however the lower canopy/branches will extend beyond the pot , the roots are developing well but need root run to improve the overall Narebri which will be exposed next -re-pot .
