A quick zip over and we got dug into it.

Indication were that the Birch had only recently been repotted, nevertheless we went ahead with the potting as it was felt it would do with a free draining soil mix.

We selected a low profile pot, to help show of f  the Nebari and positioned the tree on to one side to help accentuate the windswept branches and selected a few rock to place under the roots to help create a mountainous terrain. All in all it was a successful transformation.
