I think there was a bit of confusion : when I said that the leaves don't reduce well, I was thinking of Prunus 'Accolade'.
When 'Kojo no mai' was mentioned, I realized and wrote "Oh, that one..."
So, yes the leaves of 'Kojo no mai' are much smaller, and they can make very fine bonsai.

BTW, a Prunus x cistena (from another root cutting) :
It almost died, but has rcovered now. Since there are leaf buds closer to the trunk, I'll be able to work on it again.

I transplanted this big bougainvillea this morning. I had to use Hoyer lift and hydraulic cart to remove it out of plastic pot .
Big cave beneath the soil line .
Soil substance: pumice/ mini pine bark/ ground fir with 1:2:1 ratio. This mixture: Biochar 10:1 ratio . Humic acid granules were scattered into the mixture.

So is the back part of the trunk with the hole dead? I have a bougie that I know part of the trunk is dead, but the rest of the tree is growing fine.

No, it is alive. And the weird thing is that right in a cave, there are some roots emerging from the wall !

Wow, that's pretty cool.

I started working on this crepe myrtle this morning. The current top is a little tall, I want to bring it down a little to make the tree looked older.!
Before
The right side of the tree was done. The branches were pruned back, and pulled down by wires.
I rarely wire the non -conifer trees . Mostly use pull technique. I use copper wire and medical rated tube to protect the living parts where the wires resting
2 top branches were wired instead of being pulled. The reason is that they went straight up and there is no way to pull them out.

Tamarix is so easy to propagate via cutting.
I pruned tamarix on 6/1/22 and put the branches into the water bottle. Today, after 13 days, they have a lot of roots.
