very nice alpine

into the sun and away the go good food and get them pumping you will have a nice trunk in 12-18 months! i remember on dugzbonsai.com that he beleives the wire frame is easier to attach the trees, did you want it to be on the dadwood as that was what you had i take it?

Hi Jamie i do things the easier softer way .The trunk was collected for the purpose of shooting whips on with a staple gun .The wire frame method i think i read it took 8-10 hours , mate i could produce 5-6 in that time .I like the weight of a solid trunk , now how can you carve a wire frame ??? It took 1 hour to collect the whips carve the trunk and staple the bases of the tridents , then another hour to defol' spiral wrap , apply the grafting tape , comb the roots and pot it up .Just like a good walk in the park .Cheers

Hi Archie , no rest for the wicked hey.

Very sneaky and well executed.

Looking forward to seeing this one come out of the oven.

Any reason why you could not de insert the cone of wood after a few years? It would keep it lighter.

Hey Alpine I was just checkin out your method of trunk bending with copper tube. I think I might give it a go with my cedar that I have pretty much decided on turning into a literati.

nice job on the maples

Hi Grant , in 12 months you wont be able to move the stump , the maples will strangle every hollow and hump .I want the seedlings to grow around the carving already done .Cheers
