Small Twisty Pine
Here's a tree that was given me by a good friend. I didn't think too much of it until I started wiring it this week.
The coils are quite regular and artificial and the foliage is very far from the trunk.

Re: Small Twisty Pine
The problem is that the coils are too far apart ever to do that, and too regular. So I wired the bugger.Asus101 wrote:thats cool. Once its thick enough to start to fuse on itself and has bark....mmmm tasty shari.
Now when I plant it in the ground, the tree can grow into the wire a bit, thicken up, and hold the twists. Bud grafting later will put foliage wherever I want it.
P.S. There are larger pics and some intermediate pics on my blog.
