Really nice!

It's amazing that you can keep it in such a small pot yet still so healthy!

They are pretty firm when I tried to push them around and they bounce back quickly. I am not as concerned now. Thank you guys!

I don’t have a lot of experience with JWP specifically and recently acquired a couple of decent size material. The new shoots/candles are pretty long and floppy. Is this normal behavior or a sign of weakness? Thank you.

Very good potential with branches extending from different sections and with movements.

Use a big pot with top soil or potting soil, apply heavy fertilizer once the roots are established. I am growing some materials that way myself and the results are fairly good. The challenge is knowing when the roots are established enough to use large amount of water and fertilizer.

Any chance you will try this on JWP in the future?

Any update on this tree? Was searching for some info on Zuisho and stumbled into this thread and got curious.

The leaves look like oak?

The Chinese company is likely just a middle man. Based on what I know, akadam is really cheap in Japan and that's a big reason it is so popular. In the US we pay mostly shipping for this fancy dirt. I wonder how import tax is being handled with something like this.

The color is more stunning in person than on photo! I love it!

Look at this color!

Hopefully one day I will be able to do that!

Just placed an order on Etsy. Should be here soon since we are less than 60 miles apart ;)

I am going to get a suppressor for a 22 rifle and take care of it. The ones in my backyard don't just dig, they chew on the branches too.
