Lemon Myrtle – January 2022 maintenance

I don’t generally do much with these three, but they are definitely mature now, and more and more I’m thinking of putting them in pots. Which means I’ll need to individuate them a bit. This one had two trunks that were bound together, encouraging them to merge. Which they did a bit, but there’s scar marks. I’ll need a name to reflect that… Scarface? Prometheus the Unchained? Free Willy? One of the others is Stumpy. The third is strongly forked.

Anyway…

These guys grow in a radiant fan, which looks good on this angle, but doesn’t have enough ramification, and looks thin from above.
Not that much, all things considered.
Not a whole lot of difference, but ‘m hoping to encourage back budding.

Actually, regardless of whether this gets a bonsai pot, they will all certainly need root work… they’ve been in those pots for 4 years now.
