Euonymus : From the growing field into pot

[Jacos]

Hello all,

Today I potted up one of my flowering tree's out of my growing bed.
It's a +12 year old spindle tree (euonymus europaeus)

In the US & Bible, also known as burning bush.
Aldo I believe, burning bush rather is euonymus alatus and maybe not euonymus europaeus..?
I do not know... ask Moses.

Anyway i bought this plant as a pre-bonsai about 10years ago, and eventually put it in the growing bed.
It stayed there 7 years, with the usual treatments.

Today I dug it out, washed out the roots, pruned the roots and put it in a pot I bought from Peter Krebs.
The pot is a bit to big now, but i want it to grow some more...

Tree in the growing bed:

Tree secured into the pot:

So job finished for today..styling can begin.
Any thoughts, idea's ..shoot.

Looks like it's off to a good start. Use clip and grow to keep the branching compact.

Nice tree. You don't perhaps got a picture of it in its autumn colours?

 

[Jacos]

Yes, I have a picture of the tree as pre-bonsai.
The picture is more than 8year old.
The tree still had 3trunks at the time.

Update september, 28 2016:
The tree had a good growing season, no major problems since march 2016 when it was lifted out of the growing field.
Besides some light summer pruning, watering and fertilisation nothing was done.
Result : The tree looks a little bit disordely, but am sure it has gained strenght and in autumn I will do some more pruning and detailled wiring.

enjoy the fruit:

Nice growing out result. The trunk has developed well! Promises me something for 2 I have planted in spring. Just 6 more years of waiting. Sigh.

I would consider reducing the canopy n thiss one a bit. Maybe to 1/2 of the current size. I think it would help to overall impression of the tree though. Love the fall coulors!

 

[Grant Hamby]

Whoa. I want one. Love it!

I would consider reducing the canopy n thiss one a bit.

That's just what I will be doing this winter.
