This is an update on the cast iron cedar it had been growing in a cast iron grate at a local service station when collected .
This was a simple exercise to transform it into a semi cascade trainer 
. I have retained numerous branches to use as jins and to aid in thickening the lower trunk . 
A very basic hook and hold wiring was used as the shape of the trainer was already there . 
This will be continually pinched out at the tips to aid ramification and to attempt to maintain a compact cedar .
These tree’s get bigger and bigger every year as the growth habit extends , so continuous work is required or major trimming will have to be done every year . 
All of these Deodor Cedars require a re-pot but with plans to move on to a bigger property this can wait as most of the ground grown stock needs removing at that’s around 1000 plants/ trainers . Ihope to have the majority out of the ground by Winter’s end .
