$25 was good value for that stock and it has progressed well.

Not much to say on this, other than continuing to grow it hard and cut back.

I realize its not quite yet 01.01.2023, but its easier to post that its 2023, so looking back people can easily distinguish that its a year apart. Its only 1 day before the actual date.

This has been cut back to allow more sunlight to shine in to the lower areas.
After its repot in Spring last year it has powered on and had put on a huge flush of growth.
Integrifolia still grows well in shade, but if the lower branches get too shaded, it starts to lose vigor in them.
This probably wont be cut again until sometime in Spring this year.
This is at the stage where I'm reasonably happy with the bones.... might start more ramification building in a year or two.

Wonderful species to bonsai!
