G'day,

Here is an updated picture taken today. I'm pretty happy with the size of the foliage that it has maintained this year but I'll defoliate again soon as it helps with the ramification.

Time for another update Steven :shifty:
Are you following chtristarockies suggestions re defoliating and management?
Have you had any more aerial roots form?

G'day Steve,

Here's a picture taken this morning.
2015 September(A).JPG
I haven't done anything much with this one over the last year. It's only just recently started growing again and I think I'll do another hard cut back like I did at the beginning of this thread.

Here's a link to the animation of when I trimmed last time. Scroll your mouse left to right over the screen to see it https://www.ausbonsai.com.au/360/Dwarf_umbrella_sh/

Regards,
Steven
