great job
those shiwishagawa (sp?) style maples look great - they look like cannabis to me, and my coworker

So,are these being girdled by the heavy wire for new roots?
Darth Masiah

nope. all 5 were uppotted almost identically to post #46, in varying degrees of wrappage, depending how i wanted the roots to look in the future.
in full sun, full shad or somewhere in the middle?

the tote was shaded the whole time. once i saw new growth coming out, i moved them to full sun. though full sun here is not the same as everywhere else. i always have cloudy days and rainy weather being close to the coast. shit, i just noticed you're in london. probably get less sun than me
yes mate thats a safe bet...the tote was shaded the whole time. once i saw new growth coming out, i moved them to full sun. though full sun here is not the same as everywhere else. i always have cloudy days and rainy weather being close to the coast. shit, i just noticed you're in london. probably get less sun than me

fall color is pretty good this year. snipped a couple branches on the cuttings that weren't going to help the sacrifice branch elongate next year. just looking for trunk thickening right now so I'm not cutting much of anything.

when was the last time you worked on the roots of the main tree?

This has been a great progression! Thank you for all the updates.
I picked up my first koto hime a couple weeks ago and repotting went great. I'm in 8a, but I have a feeling my summers are a little drier than yours. When do yours get sun from and till? I'm trying to think of where to set mine up at.

2/2019 was the last repot. 2 years after airlayering it in 2017. I'll probably airlayer it again off these roots after chopping all the sacrifice branches

As far as JM's go, Koto are pretty sun-tolerant. I'm so far north of you, I get away with nearly the entire day in full sun for most of the year. Hottest time of the year I move it to shade by 11, 11:30......
Texas? Probably get some shade by eleven! Pretty thirsty, even for a JM...keep it hydrated.
@Apex37 , if it doesn't work out at first, it seems "someone" is crankin' out lot's of Koto material!!

i have them in full sun from sun up till a couple hours past high noon when they start getting shade from the big trees in the yard west of my tables. they also get full wind all day. it's hitting 70 during the day, so I'm watering everyday already.
