Plan

  • Study the tree, plan a year out if show ready as fully defoliated.

  • Select branches for the desired design.

  • Once branches are in place, then ramification techniques.

  • Deciduous—branches can be regrown over time.

  • If repotting in Spring—select a short pot, but wide for the slender trunk and its height.


Acquired May 2025
