Not going into the Comp

Post by Pup »

These little projects will not be going into competition, for various reasons. This however where most of my Shito Mame and Shohin,
start from big trunk chops smaller trunk chops and interesting cuttings. When I take cuttings I look for some already movement and shape in them. Then concentrate on the roots, when I have some that do not quite meet my standards, I give them away.

Here then are the starting projects.

I forgot to show what I meant by wrapped around a stick so have just taken a photograph of it on the big chop.
Pics to follow.

This is an alternative to wire, to get movement in the whip that is going to form the basis of the trunk.

Which was done to the one I mentioned, after the original chop.

Cheers Pup

An update on some of these trees, I now have plenty of cuttings put down hoping for a bumper crop still some to be put down. Just soaking in water so they do not dry out.
Any way here are some the pics are not great as the light was not the best and I do not use the flash maybe should have.
