Catching up after some general neglect. This got repotted last August when winter winds knocked it over, and I’ve pretty much left it alone since then. It’s actually been pretty happy.
But that undergrowth is not good… time for some grooming.
I’m not seeing any thickening of branches. The wiring shows no signs of biting into the branches. Given the foliage is downright lush, that’s somewhat surprising to me.
Fortunately weeds are actually fairly easy to pull from the collection of rocks I use – much easier than weeding the actual garden.
There’s a little bit of moss on the trunk… as we head into winter, let’s see if that can be encouraged to spread a bit.
Now lets see how the moss goes over the winter.
EDIT: a couple of weeks later I took this picture, which really isn’t all that different.
