A beginners jump into the yamadori deep end

[Sixty’s]

It will take another year to find out if it’s going to make it or not.

For now it looks like a little rooster with just a few leafs

I am going to add a fleece bag over it once the leafs fall of in hoping to give it a little extra protection over the winter months, it would be a shame to loose it as I really like the arakawa style bark developing at the base of the tree.
