At the moment it is a stump with some twigs in a bad organic soil (it looks rootbound also).
Wires are sloppy and doing absolutely nothing to the tree at the moment, I would take them off, repot it with non-organig mix in a bigger container, and wait it to grow.

Then I will trim the roots and repot it in a bigger normal garden pot.
I also took the wires off and will read up on how to wire properly.
I am new to all this and and very thank full for your reply. Is there anything els I can do in the short term or should I just let this guy grow for now.
With kind regards.

Could you give me a few tips on what to watch out for when I attempt to solve the rootbound issue?
Sorry for all these beginner questions.

I planted the tree in a bigger bot and hope this will increase the trunk size over the years.
I hope this will be better for the tree now.

It is an improvement. A remark though... There isn?t such thing as special 名媛直播 soil. Also, if your whole soil mix is based only in organic material do keep in mind that the watering regime is critical for the thriving (or not) of this tree. Do keep in mind that, in general, organic soils present a poorer drainage than their inorganic counterparts, hence root oxygenation might be impacted as well.

Be patient... Quite a few years should pass before this tree?s trunk would gain enough girth. Meanwhile do try to keep him alive and enjoy the ride over all things.
Oh... One last thing... Do get rid of that tray... It won?t do no good or it won?t make no difference at all for that matter.
