Repotted into a blue glazed pot. It really makes this tree’s colors really stand out. It needs a new coat of lime sulfur, but it has come a long way. Apr 2008

This is what the tree looks like today. In a short period this tree has come a long way, but still a long way to go. In the Spring I will defoliate the tree, rewire, and maybe repot the tree. It is very healthy and doing very well. Jan 2008

Well here she is, in all her glory. The stand that I built with my neighbor (Heath) turned out great. That thing could hold a house. Its a good thing. Because we found the only way to do this was to pot it in place. The pot was prepared and placed on the stand. Some soil was added, then the tree. Then a lot more soil and finally a long watering. Yep, it’s not going to be moving anywhere for quite some time.


I know it looks like an elephant’s foot, but that is in fact the nebari of the tree. It measures about 24″ around, 6 inches up from the base.

This is a picture of Mike Rogers using a grinder with a chainsaw blade to reduce and sculpt the roots so that it would fit into the pot. [Need a grinder]
