This is how I record my tree re-potting dates. Use a short piece of wire and bend one end. Use the bent end to rotate the wire in your wire cutter while applying light but enough pressure to score the wire around the circumference. As shown in the picture, reading left to right, 2 scores, wide space, 4 scores is year 20(24). Another wide space followed by 1 score = Spring, 2 scores =Summer, three scores = Fall and four scores =Winter. Hang from a tree branch, on a root or under the pot from the drainage screen retention wire.
