Some work begun in 2010

These are the younger Sageretia t, found as seedlings and transferred to deep pots.
Repotted every 2 to 3 years.

Objective - branch placement and leaf density.

I have begun to defoliate in late February and assess. Next year drawn projected shapes.
Soil is pretty simple, 1/3 by volume, crushed red brick and builder's silica gravel, both at 5 mm, with aged compost.
Placement is under the shade of pomegranate tree [ low leaf density ] until 2.00 p.m then just bright light, area faces East ]

The trick is allow no suckers off of the trunk, unless it is the right place. Wounds do not heal if larger than this ------ O.

Feel free to comment yay or nay.
Questions?
Thanks for looking.

This one is more 2011 or 2012


This one started last year

is the defoliating helping to get smaller leaves ?

if so, the smaller ones you have will be really nice !

i do like the first one though too.
