Just 3 months in the training pot, but Honeysuckle II(a) slipped right into a tray without a problem. Minor pruning on both ends, top & bottom & it looks like he was born to it.

Honeysuckle II(a)
One could never guess that this specimen had major surgery less than 6 months ago..I probably could have skipped the plastic tray & gone directly to a ceramic container, but I want the trunk & base (nebari) to mature & to "put some age" on this tree before we go any further.
