Cut it back to shohin sice.

This is from the summer in 2007...some of the roots had died back...I made the deadwood like this.

This is the spring 2010.

This is now, 2013.
I have been able to turn the crown a little, and repot in a new angle, giving a better view to the live veen on the backside...in the beginning was the veen flat, now it has rounded a lot, and is a coulpe of cm. wide.
The tree is standing 19 cm. tall.

Kind regards Yvonne

After 1.5 growing season had the tree become too dense...time to thin out, and restyle.

I cut off 4 cm. of the top, and tree is now back to 17.5 cm...the gap will fill out during summer. Next repotting will give a new angle, and the story will continue Smile

Kind regards Yvonne
