Re: Shimpaku
That sounds great
glad to know I didn't take the tree backwards! (first tree this far in, therefore lack foresight).

Currently feeding with a mixture of two liquid ferts and seasol, seems to respond well!! But always looking to imrpove

Re: Shimpaku
I like the contorted look of this tree. The branch placement works well and when you start to ramify the branches its going to look really really good. Keep up the good work!
So the Redwood turns to the Bonsai and says "Lend me a Tenner"......
