Melaleuca Nesophila - Shohin Project
Posted: February 28th, 2024, 11:51 am
I bought this Melaleuca Nesophila as a tubestock from a nursery around about September 2021.
I initially wired up an interesting trunk line, but never re-applied wire after it bit in. From what I can remember it became relatively long and straight again, so I cut it back hard.
Leaving it to it's own devices, it now grew multiple trunks from fairly low, so I decided I might try and make it a shohin. From then until now it's just been letting grow and cutting back hard.
It's starting to take shape into something now as an open and outwards growing tree. I'm thinking maybe a small flame style shape.
December 2021. Initial trunk shape.
April 2022. After cutting back hard.
