This has had its first trim and restyle after the initial construction and wiring 8 months ago .With the alluminium wire removed it was trimmed and re-wired , i have concentrated on the twin apexes and allowed the lower branches to grow on for the purpose of thickening the trunks and to use them as Jin material.These younger stock plants are more vigorous than older material , so it a better result than the other Example of the Phoenix graft that used aged junipers as the raw material .I have slip potted both trainers into a more open mix as they were retaining too much moisture which has led to the demise of the rear tree. It will still be used as a jin so it won’t be wasted. Another specimen will soon be added to fill the void at the rear to maintain the depth of the base trunk, it may even be used as a third apex .Cheers Alpineart
