Intense repot for sure - I bet the roots will really benefit from this hard work and the foliage is so vibrant again. I love how this tree looks like a beautiful large orchard apple - the scaling in incredible!

Cheers Sue, yeah the scaling is good on this one, if i can sort the roots i think this will be a real winner overall

Hell yeh Broski. That repot was an epic battle scene. This tree looks like the perfect miniature apple with those berries coming in red. Dope. Cheers 😎🍺🍺

Frequent repot in the early years can help...

Exactly! this is why I prefer growing from seed, as you can do that. Its slower, but you avoid roots like this

Could you tie a string around the lower root plane? That would maybe prevent them from taking over and insentivise the tree to put more energy in the upper roots

Yeah that would help, but i'd use wire not string. If its is not behaving from pruning alone i will do that.

I see that you also have hard water (scale forms), the traces are visible on the trunk base. Do you have any method to remove these traces from the base of the trunk?

The water here is soft, but maybe it is from before when i did live in a hard area. Also this tree is watered about 98% from the rain these days. anyway, to get ride of it, use a toothbrush and vinegar, just be careful it doesnt get into the roots. i'd just dampen the toothbrush and do a little bit a time, then try and wash it off by holding the tree upside down so it washes away from the roots. (this will remove moss too)

Hey, quick question, how's this thing doing after that last massive root chop? Did it freak the Fk out on you? I don't wanna wait 6months to hear if this thing survived! lol

@jagboy69 yeah it’s fine. You are underestimating the power of the cotoneaster lol. It would probably survive a nuclear blast 🤣
