Dwarf Pomegranate (Punica Granatum 'Nana') - UPDATE

 This is an exerpt from the Photo/History for the Dwarf Pomengranate; click to read

I purposefully left the Pomegranate until last, or next to  last, to repot with Bonsai soil. Yesterday, I pulled him out of his pot & was amazed at the root growth..he was not root bound, but he had feeder roots extended to the full length & width of the tray. Unlike most of the other trees, his soil was not compacted.

I've been routinely cleaning-up & trimming roots on all of the other plants, as the repot progressed, so I didn't hesitate to do the same for the Pomegranate. The bottom line, he didn't like it. I did prune him harder than I intended & I remembered, after the fact, that this tree is still very young. After repotting with fresh Bonsai soil, I watered him & within 15 minutes, saw the consequences of my actions. His foliage went limp, the mature leaves hanging down, the new growth collapsed, the color of his previously orange pod turned brown..I think I might have killed him.   

Formosa Azalea (Rhododendron × ‘Formosa’) - UPDATE

 This is an exerpt from the Photo/History page for the Formosa Azalea Click to read.

The Formosa produced 2 flowers, larger than I expected & has been happily blooming since the repot. He seems healthy & happy under the trees, getting some full sun in the morning & dappled shade the rest of the day.

I am still torn between cutting the dual trunks & creating two trees, which would be sparsely foliated, but could be grown & developed, over time.

I will continue fertilizing the Formosa as long as he shows new growth & until his fall bloom is spent. I don't know how to account for the vigor this little tree shows, but I'm not complaining.
