2025-08-22	repot
2024-05-24		Wired and some further branch selection and jinn.
2024-05-22		Bud selection, clean up of old needles. Open up for light and air. Bud selection was difficult as not all had many options and lots of under developed buds. Migth need to de-candle a bit later for needle length reduction.
2022-08-11	repot	Root growth was not great, core was very dense, attempted to free it up and spread root base. Roots didn’t look overly healthy, no white roots yet and buds are slow to move. Some concerns with tree, should let it rest, might not de-candle or pinch. Need to build vigour and better roots. into better mix into 30cm orchid pot.
2021-08-13	repot	Repot, was heavy root at bottom, some white roots, into a slightly larger orchid pot, removed about 1/4 of the roots. Into a better mix. Removed wiring and rewired with big branches pointing down.
