Hello again,
I'm writing again about my FLF which I stressed by root pruning it a couple of months ago. I posted a photo of it while it was dropping most of its leaves. It is now in recovery and has put out a few new leaves and there are quite a few buds developing throughout the plant.
This was a nice tree shape prior to it's temporary demise. My question is if anyone can tell me how crazy the tree is going to look with all the new areas of growth that will come in. Will it be covered with those thin little branches that don't look particularly good? Is there any way to keep this with just a few branches like it has now? I don't know where, when or if I should cut back the branches to create a certain form or just let it go naturally. Any advice would be appreciated.
And Will, I did find a big, shallow rubber tote that I can use for watering so I have solved that problem.
