Kishu Raft progression

[mwar15]

I have always wanted a raft and so I have a few I have started. This Kishu was traded for and came to me in 2018 in a 4”pot. I wired it and uppotted it and in 2019/2020 and decided with a raft.
Wired 10/2020
Repotted into an Anderson flat March 2021

Wired and ready for a box

March 2023 built a box and repotted. I quickly realized I wish I would have built a larger and shallower box



Oct 2024 I trimmed, wired.the branch going to the upper right horizontal could be deadwood or air layered. Mainly I left it to keep the large trunk growing. The lab to just feed and let grow.
