This one has had a year.
Spring
Starting in August, after completely losing it’s leaves over the winter. Many of the trees from 2022 were in what turned out to be terrible soil. So this is repotted into soil with more perlite.
Heatstroke
On September 20th I found the tree wilted. Not sure why – the other trees got the same watering. But for whatever reason, this one was near-death.
This was before work, so some emergency action.
When I got back that evening, the tree was better, but still not great.
Second Repotting
I left it like that for a couple of weeks, but eventually figured that that the repotting in August hadn’t been very good. There was a lot of wiggle in the way the tree was planted… did this let too much air in?
Turns out that this worked wonders, but that’s a later story.
