Ok here's an update and some interesting info after running the basket culture for 1 and 3/4 years.
Some of these plants are from the original start in December 2010/January 2011.
This kolo was one of the first. A virtually rootless 6" seedling, and put it into a 4" basket. Now it has almost a 24" span, 2 new growths, and roots all over. Now two other bigger kolos went into 8 inch baskets and have gone nowhere in comparison. I recently downgraded them into 4 and 6" baskets with a higher percentage of limestone gravel in the mix.
