Small Juni cascade..

Hi all

I was given this tree back in 2014, The friend that gave it me said it would need protection in winter as it's never done well and the foliage turs almost brown through winter!


It was as he said, Nothing seemed to help it and foliage was very sparse then suddenly in 2018 it was absolutely crackers!!


Had to give it something of a haircut!!, I still need to put some wire on to it and get a better pot as it blew off the bench in high winds and broke one side completely off!, I glued it back together as I had nothing similar to put it back into!, I have a couple now for next year!


I also had to fill a hole with epoxy putty where the pot shards were too small to put back!!



I live at the top of a hill here in Sheff, It's prone to high winds unfortunately, I've had a few breakages due to it!


Cheers, John

One approach that I have found to work in unstable situations is to place the pot in a heavier, bigger pot and fill the big pot with rocks/pebbles/whatever. This makes it much less likely to succumb to wind gusts.

In certain situations like tall pot or tall tree is good to tie pot to bench with wire. Very offten seen in Japanese nurseries
