Repotting Season

Over the last fortnight I have managed to repot six trees, with my Ficus due one this Saturday. Here's few pictures of the outcomes. As you can see the majority of the trees have been potted up into something bigger to maximise growth. I used my usual mix of 3 parts cat litter : 1 part compost.

For this tree I decided to reveal a bit more of the nice nebari underneath and removed some ugly surface roots around the back.

I felt it has been a productive few weeks and my repotting skills have greatly improved as a result. Now I feel far more confident about repotting trees.
