Very elegant and dainty. Even though you lost some branching, birches are so obliging when budding back on old wood. This will also keep the tree from getting too symmetrical. I do love seeing how the different birch species grow.
Cool! Nice you got one of those grow kits to do more than just sprout! Anyone I've ever gotten sprouts then never survive. But seeds I find grow 99% of the time
Cheers, yeah i dont know why everyone struggles with these kits. they are just a bag of seeds in a fancy box lol. but maybe they are sat on a shelf to long and not as fresh as ones you find outside or something.
Nice progress! You ever watch B4Me Bonsai? Not sure how close he is to your environment, but his rules for trimming and not trimming seem to hold up. Looking forward to seeing how she goes this year, brother!
I enjoyed the series.

Loving your website. A proper sensible compendium for newbies. Much obliged!
Cheers :)

Silver birch has little white warts on the tips of branches, downy has little hairs… I’m sure it was you I learnt that from a while back😂
lol probbaly was from me, but yeah its something to do with the leaf hair. i have it written down somewhere. keep forgetting to check
Nice progress!
