Stumpy Lemon Myrtle: December 2023 update

Last year Stumpy got repotted. Like everything in 2022, I used a poor soil mix, and it struggled. 12 months ago, I posted that it wasn’t quite dead. A year later, it’s recovered, with marks from the journey.

August 2023: specific sprouts came out, and I let them grow. But they just flopped out, so I wired them to face up.
October 2023: growth successful.
December 2023: there’s sufficient growth that I want to start pruning. Plus it’s time to revisit the wire.
Wire scars.

Finished. Mostly I cut the ends of the branches, hoping they’ll ramify a bit.

It’s done well enough that I haven’t replaced the soil. But that will definitely be in for next spring.
