My plans are to repot this Kojo No Mai into the pot next spring...it is currently recovering from my forgetfulness of not relocating it to a partially sunny area this summer. And experienced a bit of leaf burn. But, I am happy to say is showing signs of improvement where it now is located. By sending out new growth.

Here is a close up back when it was in bloom...

Very unique!

Thanks Josh...yes indeed! But, so his style...I absolutely love his work.

Repotted into the Erin Pottery pot...enjoyed the flowers a bit before I shaped it up some...and did a slight bit of wiring. A photo attached of both in bloom and then one where I tried to tame a bit of that naturalistic chaos. With the attempt to keep some of it. (What you don't see in a 2D photo is that the branches are wired to come toward the viewer slightly)

Removed that left main trunk...it was a distraction and had nothing to offer the overall appearance I was going for. Though...I must admit that first cut was the hardest.

Will do...I got some of the total chaos from the last photo...a bit less chaotic in the one above it. This tree is beautiful in bloom...fall colors are beautiful as well.

A little more wiring to make it more compact and have more movement...I still need to address that right side. But...until I know exactly where it want it to go...I'm leaving it be.
