Hi Geoff, thanks for responding i appreciate any help. I have re-potted all my Chinese elms except for the raft style one pictured above as it was only laid down last year and i am not confident of how much roots it has. The quince, stewartia, gooseberry and larch are all new to me so i have not done anything with them yet but the gooseberry especially needs a good prune later.
With regard to the picea glauca, i chose them as they had a decent trunk size and looked healthy but was i fooled into thinking dwarf species would be easier to produce good shohin from?
Thanks again, i am really enjoying all the content Morten has put out and hopefully my trees will now start to improve.
Andrew
