Hi Dario , mate in the 40 here o i have covered things up a little with tarps . The forecast of a heat wave for 10 days is very worrying , heading out to water now .

Cheers Alpine

With the heat at 38.9 i decided enough was enough . These needed another trim , needle pluck and basic wire , 6 hours of sun baking under the shade sails and their back on the benches for anther season . I will rewire these at a later date .

Cheers Alpineart

Another trim and needle pluck , too lazy to wire these nowProgressing well be it slowly definitely in need of wiring and a bit of fert' wouldn't go astray either .

Cheers .Ian

This had a trim and needle plucked this morning , or is that a partial leaf defoliation and trim , removed some foliage , it will be wired over the next few weeks when the "powers to be" finish hacking and chopping me , will certainly have plenty of spare time coming up .These 2 were worked over earlier in the week , I missed a foliage reduction exercise on the informal upright but that too will be done when the wire is applied .

Nice to see them back in Blue .

Cheers Alpineart

I quite like that cascade Alpine Some wiring to separate the pads and compress the apex etc should improve this greatly . I finally got around to cutting back hard my large formal upright a few weeks ago. Next stage is a day of wiring if I ever get that motivated .....

Hi Matthew , mate i compressed and rotated the apex this morning just brute force and it looked the goods . Its in need of a re-pot hence the reason its lagging behind it sister tree .

Now I have seen that big tree of yours , if you can wire it in a day you had better come over here and wire a few of mine . I hack and chop pretty quickly but wiring well I do it very slowly hence time runs out for most tree's . But there's always tomorrow , next week, next year , who's in a hurry as long as there green and growing

Cheers . Alpine
