They hold less water than akadama but are lightweight and don’t breakdown as fast.

Thanks for the stunning pics! There appears to be a yellow particle mixed in with the akadama…is this something like the Japanese version of osmocote? Best regards!

It’s incredible you could get a tree like these in 30 years. I think i’m gonna try this, but i don’t think it’s possible in Belgium… too much rain most of the year…
Keep posting trees from your visits to Japan, i love them :-)
Best regards
David
