Koto Hime Maple Progression

[Darth Masiah]

around two weeks since defoliation. if you rub off buds you don't need early, you won't have a big scar later

 

[Darth Masiah]

this year's february cuttings are looking good. lost maybe three.



this cutting from last year had the worst nebari out of all the cuttings, so i wired up a couple shoots when i repotted for later cuttings with movement. you can see they're starting to push out. i need to go ahead and prune back cutting #4.

cut back my other cutting

 

[Darth Masiah]

three weeks since defoliation/cutback. strong shoots have pushed out about three nodes.

 

[Darth Masiah]

at thirty days. about to slow the strong shoots down.






separated cuttings. numbered the ones i liked and made clumps from the rest

 

[Darth Masiah]

pruned one growth tip that pushed out beyond the silhouette. most of the previously pruned shoots have opened buds near the cut ends.

 

[Darth Masiah]

got a second pruning in. i don't need ramification at the tips of these shoots, so i drove back in to the silhouette. I'm trying to keep these leaves decent until the fall, so onto the porch she goes for only direct morning sunlight until temps drop back under 90f.
