Sure I want to keep bonsais, not a forest in my balcony. That’ll be an other question to where, but in the antarctica, I really see something. Maybe keep two trunks, or even three if I manage to get taper.

That kind of..
No, not three, just two trunks. The third branch extremely coarse. On the right side layer, I’m still not sure if it’s a keeper or just chop away.


That one looks easy on top, but a h.load of work with the rootbase. I thought to split up that big root and carving more where naturally wants to form a hole. The other side possible need root grafting also.

If they stay alive, of course...

Sure! The campestre is really in the line. I just draw that quick plan cause your first answer sounded like this for me : What the heck are you want to do with those ugly stuff?

That bad boy started to recovering. Between the first and last picture 2 weeks passed. Is in full sun now


Just some fresh photo from it:

Looking good!
Careful with the external cachepot IF you intend to use it as a training pot in the future, the "neck" it has makes repoting later very tricky.

Thanks Never thought I could use this as a pot. I like to hide ugly plastic containers with ugly non-plastic ones...

That’s just unbelievable.. The campestre try to waking up without a single intact leaf on it! I don’t know if it’s play on role or not, but the case looked already lost (girdling roots, rootbound, pests, deficiency problems and whatever not), I gave a week ago a light cocktail with oligo elements, iron, etc.. If that tree will make it, I’ll buy a bottle of champagne.

Hm.. Fungal infection? Wait a few more leaves. But I would guess some sort of infection. The soil is not horribly wet is it?

I thought about the same and already treated with systemic fungicid once. My concern that it absorbs just close to the site and I sprayed the leaves how it’s written, but not the bark. Do you think the next treatment I need to give for the trunk also? Surplus, that already weakened tree got more mass on parasites than the weight of his own leaves. Soil just moist for touch now, but the root system was a mess with severe girdling and wet like moorlands in the nursery. The English patient..
