2025-07-17repotcut back all branches, removed thick issues. Attempted a thread graft as considering regrowing entire top due to inverse taper and scar. Worked roots, good root ball forming, removed thick roots. Under base had some very thick roots from original pot, cut these back but might need further work. Planted in a wider pot, feel like this will have a good root spread in future. Was hard work repotting.
2024-05-24Cut back. Re-wired branches and removed extended growth.
2022-07-06repotDug down, ok surface roots, saw through about 50%, removed potting soil by hand , chopstick, then washed out. Cut back roots, but left minor roots. Will need more root work, reduced by 60-70% roots.
