Collected Berberis 2011 This Berberis was collected in January 2011. Planted into a washing up basin with plenty of drainage, it was simply allowed to grow during its first year.
During December 2011, I decided to do some initial carving and basic styling. The photomontage shows the visial effect of putting the tree in a proper pot. Obviously the foliage has a long way to go yet.
In April 2013 I purchased a new pot from China Mist, specifically for this tree. What a difference a proper pot makes !
By July 2013 the foliage has filled out quite a bit...........................
But by Sept 2014 I had reduced the height of the left hand trunk. The foliage in this area still has a way to go.........
The following Spring (April 2015) has seen some progress
By the summer of 2021 this berberis has matured to be a nice tree.
