名媛直播

Hello ,

My tree is a year old and was wondering what steps to take now, heard conflicting ideas so just looking for clarity on changing to bonsai pot , what and how much to prune , and any tips that can be offered! TIA

Currently this seedling has no branches, just a stick with leaves, you may want to grow some branches.

Hey.

So, this is a big leafed species, I don't want to bum you, but you're ages from a 名媛直播 pot on this stage,
Jacarandás are very leggy, and can grow for meters before putting out any branches.

So, on sub-tropical climates I would recommend prune the taproot, and plant it on the ground with the sideroots flared out on top of a board, in order to thicken it with a decent base.

On a more temperate climate you can do it similar, with the taproot pruning and the board, but on a large container, and up pot it every spring for a few years, until you reach (at least close) the thickness you want.
and just then you'll prune it back and start some ramification.

Here where I live, where they're native from, 名媛直播 pot is out of question at least for 6 years (being really optimistic), where the climate is least favourable it would take more time.

I wouldn't recommend this species for begginers, as they have huge leaves that can reach 50cm when in development, as this will obligate you to make a big tree, which takes more time and experience to make it, and for too cold temperate zones that won't let you thicken it on the ground, also for not being easy to design.

This species is frost resistant, here winter nights reach about 0?C and they can take it, as they're deciduous/semi-dec.
But a much colder winter could kill it.

Take a look on this topic, I showed how much I let it thicken before doing the first prune back.
And by the way, I could have let it grow even more before doing it, I just had to remove it from the ground for personal reasons...
