I have this, probably, Dissectum Garnet that had a large trunk stump removed recently (was infected with orange fungus). I used tools to carve away all infected wood, used fungicide and then sealed the cut. Its starting to roll over slowly but if possible I want it to roll over much quicker because its a high risk wound. Its extremely dense this year and looks the healthiest its ever been, maybe due to its first repot ever last year in early Spring (removed 95 % of roots) and great weather this year.
The wound diameter is roughly 6 cm, the trunk diameter 7cm.
I want to defoliate it to force new growth and then use loads of fertilizer to gain a lot of wood and thus heal over fast
Its not a bonsai, its in a large deep pot and the canopy is roughly a 90cm sphere but I am using bonsai techniques on it and its responding well.
I only gave it little fertilizer this year so far.
Or would it grow just as much or even more if I let it keep the leaves and just fertilize heavily? Or something in between?
Its in a morning sun spot, but I could take it to full sun
