Hi Jerry,
Yes the branches it lost were at the bottom of the tree, it's about 8"
tall
shoudl be around 12 years old now. There are a couple of large old cuts,
5mm branches
cut off lower down.

Thanks,
Dunk

Dunk,
What is the size of your Sageretia? Is it a collected specimen with dead
wood on it or signs of large old cuts?
Is it losing branches from the bottom of the tree up?
