My Cedrus with Koji
Posted: June 18th, 2017, 3:10 pm
So this is a Cedrus I have owned for a few months that I thought to be the perfect candidate for a workshop tree with Koji. It was purchased from padre Pio and has had nothing done to it from me until today.
I seen two opportunities with it and was firstly after some thoughts on wether I kept it the large tree or worked the first branch into a small tree. Koji asked me which I preferred and I said let's go with the large tree and that way if we change our minds we can always revert back to the small option.
Here is the tree before we started. I was then instructed to wire everything up with the exception of the apex and that first left branch. We discussed that these two may make great Jin. After styling the tree with the larger option I was happy to sacrifice the first branch as Jin also and ended up with this tree out of it. We discussed a lot option for later and Koji suggested a shallow round pot
This was my first experience with a workshop from an international professional and I absolutely loved it. If anybody is hesitating to go to one in the future my suggestion would be to go.
I will try and keep this updated.
