Yamadori Bougy

Hi guys,

I rescued this Bougy a while ago, and have managed to keep it alive thus far, although I don't think it really needed my help. I was planning on keeping it moving in this direction, and have wired some of the branches into the positions I thought we look go long term. The soil has since compacted in the pot, as well as recieving some help from our puppy, I have started to change my mind.

I now think that I had buried some nice movement, which has since taken root, and am considering giving it a tilt to the right by 90 degrees.

I know they are fairly hard, but am I likely to have any problems with getting fresh along the trunk, or any problems with exposing the roots which are currently under soil?

I'm working on a virt to show what I mean, but am having issues with photoshop.

Cheers,
Damo

The prediction for cool wet weather for the next week has spurred me into action today, I finally got around to fixing the Bougy I was looking at re-potting in a new direction. I moved it about 90 degrees clockwise so rather than slant to the left, it now sits up more. I'm very happy with the movement and potential that I now see in this one. Just need to wait for some shoots in the right spots then work out what it is that needs to go from the current foliage.

Sorry about the poor photography, shadows from the flash.

Any comments or advice would be welcome.

Cheers,
Damo
