Nothing...now and then some MG--if I have it mixed up--very seldom.

Really! it is just the way it grows....How, and in what it is potted helps a lot.
I DID add the slow-release fertilizer to the soil in the pot.
I am sure that has helped. When i root-prune these--and pot them back
with a fresh layer of amended soil all around--that helps hugely. Every 2-3 yrs.

Once it is growing--it is, pretty much, on its own. LOTS of watering needed!!!
A gallon a day--easily.

Brugs are pretty indestructible. Do look out for mites, though.
And--White Fly--as i discovered this year. Dr. S. has not had any issues.
It is far away from the others...

Don't know what else to tell up.
This coming year--i will be starting from scratch--again--from a rooted cutting.
Giving the big one away to Cylburn. It has gotten pretty massive...

Looking from the bottom up.....Nice....
