Nice work getting all that thick growth and the root System looks really flat as well. I've been getting some kinda scaring on my leaves kinda looks like scale but I think it's coming from the tree and whatever it is it's not a bug. But since I Commented it's been pretty much a new growing season and to my Surprise my two tree grew pretty vigorously. I guess after the repot last it needed two year to Grow some new roots cuz it went crazy this year. Some much root growth it completely and fully Filled the pot. I'll post some pictures of one of the trees in question. It's to the Semi- cascade tree in the picture. It's fairly old from what I can gather because the lower trunk had a twin that I cut off about the same thickness as the trunk, It had 15 or so rings. So maybe up to 15 to 30 years old.Mine grows realy well @MMJNICE
But i think its only one or max two flushes a year.
They do backbud realy well and the leaves grow in clusters so when pruning go ajways back to two leaves i always remove the leaves growing down and up and then select a left and right to keep feedback heavily and mine is in a full sun spot
Wooden box fell apart so ill do a emergency repot tonight and then a propper repot in spring

I kinda find it weird that they heal so slowly because my burning bushes heal very quickly and seem to have zero problems closing basic trunk chops in one growing season. Now the wood is ridiculously soft but they heal fast. These trees have more in common then differences i would think. I'll post the other tree soon, and some close ups of the blistering on the leaves that look so off putting or just plain yucky looking. It's starting to over run the leaves the older the leaves get.Nice, they heal scars but slowely.
If you want to wire the branches give them movement while still green.
I am trying to clip and grow on mine.
