Several weeks after the previous update i found this little Euc wilting throughout the day, it was begging for more moisture.
At 850mm in height and yet to be root pruned i believed the tree to be somewhat pot bound and against all good advice

So in mid spring, mid decorticating (bark shedding), i removed about 70% of the root mass and 50% of the foliage. Reducing the height back to 300mm but leaving plenty of solar panels for immediate food and root production.
I am happy to report it's still alive and growing it's socks off.
27 October 2016 - Pot on after root and foliage prune 15 November 2016 - Initial regrowth 28 November 2016 - Trunk thickening due to a sacrifice branch 28 November 2016 - Today Just a great Genus / Species for the impatient enthusiast.
Hopefully now no more work until at least Autumn - we'll see, maybe some canopy thinning / directional pruning.
Thanks,
Kevin
