![]() One thing to take into consideration are my zone and continent are completely different to yours, this will probably have a bearing on the work you can undertake. I was exactly like you when i first started with JM read all the books asked all the questions etc and merrily planted away numerous cultivars and waited to see these lovely trees turn into things of wonderous colourful delights, well the vast majority of the trees will do exactly what it say's on the ticket no problems, but you will find some trees won't for some reason turn into the described colours which they should why i have not the faintest idea? So i wouldn't be scared of digging your trees up and re sighting them to your new home you should have no problems, let me put it this way if i ever moved believe you me every single tree will be coming with me !!!! I also think that costs play a lot in peoples minds not wanting to damage in any way their at some times quite expensive purchase from the garden centre, you have to be brutal with them to be kind it helps them in the long term which is what we are all trying to acheive with our trees, it never ceases to amaze me just how much cutting lopping pruning of JM you can do with out inflicting damage. Plus during the month of October i also did another 14 trees and all have no issues this season great new leaf and growth, i find a lot of people are scared of doing any type of maintinence work on their JM and just tend to leave them in the pots they bring them home in from the garden centres and think they will be fine not realising that containerised JM and ground grown trees do need work doing on them at some point in time to keep them fit and healthy otherwise they will develop problems. Last set Osakazuki 17/11/17 this was the easiest of the three to do took most of the main anchor roots of then straight into 80ltr pot, roughly spent 2 hours on each tree from start to finish. ![]() ![]() ![]() Second group Kashima exactly then same method 6/07/17 note the size of the root ball placed into 80ltr pot I have found over the years that JM will take as much stress and pain that you wish to throw at them, i dig up various cultivars through out the season (May to November) root/branch prune re pot etc and find that they don't suffer in any way shape or form and 99% of the time they look better for the work carried out on them, the other 1% might take till the following year to come back to normal but come back they do.Īdded pics of three seperate cultivars which had major branch and root prunes last year in June, July and November and all of these have suffered no problems what so ever despite having one of our worst winters on record for many a year.įirst group pics Murasaki Kiyohime done on the 14/06/17 in the ground for 6 years lower half of tree removed, then top half shaped with hedge clippers note the deep cuts on the branches lifted root pruned and placed in 40ltr pot ![]()
