End of year. Happy with progress. Plan is a repot next year, some changes to apex, fertilization, growth... would like to see some minor adjustments I wired hold on the lower branch and on the planned new leader. Nebari is looking awesome. I'm contemplating a grow box even for some real serious growth. Probably would triple in thickness in two or three years in a grow box. The roots should be pretty much set for the future other than minor root work. Hmmmm......
Thickness by year: Bold are years which tree was repotted:
YEAR | WIDTH (At end of year) |
2019 | 0.10" |
2020 | 0.41" |
2021 | 0.60" |
2022 | 0.62" |
2023 | 0.72" |

Potential rethinking of apex:
Wired for some structure:
Tree will get some protection this winter compared to normal years due to the wiring.
