SUMO SHOHIN SATSUKI AZALEA

Azalea repotted today. Height from pot rim about 5 inches. Circumference at trunk base about 11 inches.

Wow nice trunk.

Do you know what variety it is? Do you plan on showing it this year, that is a shallow pot for an azalea?


Nice tree,
Andrew

Great tree. It's hard to believe that trunk is that large!

Andrew, I think this is the satsuki Mike showed us last year, shi ryu no homare.

Very nice Mike,
The trunk looks like made of roots, what is the material you put on top of the soil? It doesn't look like sphagmum moss

And, the pot is unusual. Who made it?

Rsssell, this is the one I posted last year. You provided the identification if memory serves. (At my age, sometimes it doesn't)

The trunk is roots. The top dressing is fine pieces of cedar.

The pot was made by Michael Hagedorn of Crategus Pottery. I should have included that in the original post.
