New species in our garden is Chaste Tree – Vitex agnus-castus, collected in winter 2011. Tree is one of the few Mediterranean members of an otherwise mainly tropical family of plants. As we know, this species is rare as bonsai.
Deadwood and moving are very interesting. It was impossible to collect it and save many fine roots, so this growing season we will let crown to grow freely, until roots recover.
This pistacia was collected in 2010. It looks very healthy, and it will be wired soon, and in late Autumn transplanted in the new pot.
We were very pleased when we have find this tree with a form of typical broadleaved tree. Few ugly air roots will be removed in future, but we have left it after collecting, until rootball recover. Tree is ready for the first styling.
