I have four foot Seiryu in its second year in a five gallon clay pot in
the Seattle area.

It browned up in the sun, and so I have moved it to shade, with a board
to protect the pot from the sun, and it is greening up nicely now, but
still no new growth yet.

I plan to move it to a bigger pot this winter.

People say these trees dont need much fertilizer, but I wonder if a
little might help at this point?

If so what sort of fertilizer?

Thanks in advance.
