Lobaeux
Shohin
Great link! The Pierneef style is the classic African style, I've got a BRT that I'm going to try and influence into that style. My slanted BRT I'll try for the flat top style.
Why repot? It looks like the soil is in good shape still? Reporting just slows down developmentLess than two weeks ago, I defoliated this BRT and it's come back with a vengeance. Too early to wire some of the new branches, but I'm getting excited for Spring to repot and see what the roots are looking like.

The cuttings look great. I took some cuttings off of mine, they didn't last.
How about Lobaeux, you put a light fence around the tree, to prevent any more stabs ?

Folks I am almost sure that this plant is Sub-Tropical, so my suggestion is to study the effects of
temperature on the tree.
I was reading about the Pomegranate and Agnus castus, both can grow in the Tropics but
they end up with ------ Short --------- life spans.
The Punica here died after a short 25 years.
The Agnus castus after 10 years.
I would hate to see your efforts die after say 25 years from Tropical growing exhaustion.
Seems the Hindus down here love the Pomegranate so much they have artificially kept it
alive since 1870 or so, with the act of replanting so often.
It is usually near their prayer spots in the yard.
Oh one for health 100% pomegranate juice aids the body in making the chemical needed
to repair muscles, very important for those older than 50 [ me ] as do strawberries.

I am suggesting perhaps a deeper look into the life of this tree.
