And summer is gone! 17/09/2017

Well, i didn't post any update during this summer but as you can see the tree is still alive and it grew even more. In fact a brand new branches emerged from the bottom part and became bigger than the rest of the tree! This unexpected event changed my plan to put it on the ground because i think that maybe if it doesn't acclimatate well now with the growth so strong and fresh, i could make some serious damage. Therefore I've decided to transfer it in a bigger vase and I will do around mid october.
For the weather we had the most hot and dry summer ever here with no rain at all for almost 3 months, but now things are changed and the temperature are around 20°C and we are having some rainy days.

Almost Summer! 16/06/2017

Ok, first of ll sorry for the photo here but I am too lazy to take the tree to a nice spot. However as you can see it is doing very well. I was a little bit worried for the hailstorm of last month but seems that the event didn't had any effect at all.
I've also got rid of most of the weeds in the pot, except for a nice shaped one that seems to be a flower of some kind, and added some new fresh soil to see if this help with the yellow leaves in the bottom part.
Some people suggest me to prune it a little bit but I want to wait the transplantation on the ground.
The weather now is really hot with very few cloudy days, no rain and the temperature is constantly over 30°.

After a hailstorm! 16/05/2017

Yesterday there was a huge hailstorm here and I was scared for the tree but seems that it wasn't a big deal for it. Some leaves have been detached, some other are damaged and a few little branches has been broken, but overall the tree resisted pretty well to the calamity.
Regarding the overall growth of the tree, seems that in this moment it prefer to develop lot of lateral branches, expecially in the middle-lower part, respect a growth in height and this can be bue to a lack of space in the vase for the roots.
But next year it will be planted on the ground and will have plenty of space then.
