its in a 5 1/2in koban shaped pot, the nebari is 4in and the tree is now 8in from the soil.

Love those trees, they have tons of character

Great trees, keep us posted on their development. Especially the second.

its growing and growing.its being a real pain actualy. I keep getting huge leaves so I keep pruning and they just come back just as large ...so much for DWARF viburnum. I guess ive got some expiramenting to do. I have another one that I havent done anything to cuz they are supposed to flower and I am not sure how pruning affects it ... its all a learning process I guess

Awesome trees, very nice.

Wooow really cool. How old are they?
