JBP layered clump style

[alpineart]

This was an open pot layer which was severed 2 seasons after being set , It"s been on the bench for a while so I decided to pot it up in preparation for wiring

This is another JBP with a sacrifice trunk being layered off for a multi trunk style

. This branch didn't perform as one would have expected , not all sacrifice branches do . In comparison to other JBP's here this was the worst performing trunk for thickening out of all of them and that includes Pines without a sacrifice branch . it was severed this morning and potted up

and delivered to its new owner this afternoon as a new trainer , can't hang onto everything . The main tree , well I haven't decided on a style but can see a few different options .

Very impressive root growth.

Hi russelsallivan , in need of some wiring and styling but it should come up to the planned style in time .

Hi Watto the Scoria blend and "Rustica Plus" is responsible for the health of the roots and foliage .As for a scarifice branch it done jack shari for pumping the original trunk , They dont always increase girth as I have found with several JBP's from this batch .
