Repotting complete and now it can power on again. No grafting neccessary, Nebari very satisfactory for this kind of planting...

Heres another to add to the fever 2 years ago it had a louzy nebari so i put 6 approach grafts on, 6 out of 6 success and a cracker nebari to boot. The thread graft for a back branch failed 2 years ago taking it off after one year. So threaded a new one this time will leave on for 2 years!!! Here the b4's and after's :tu:

And another, this one i aquired from our good friend Jow. When i saw this tree at his home i made it known what my thoughts were and in true Jow style some time later, presented me with it and said to me do what you gotta do i look forward to the results. So i did...

2010 as soon as i got it i went to work this being the only photo i have to start with.

Hi Antonio,

I like the looks of the new roots. I think you must have used mix with coarser (larger) particles?

(I don't believe the gentleman in the photo is you. It is too heavy for you to hold it up like that? :D )

Cheers.

Man those are awesome. This is the first comment I've made in a while as in winter I can't really do much with my bonsai so I sort of lose interest, but this is just too :cool:

Yes mate !!! :tu: Today a big day out there even got the girls helping. Aim is to finish all the tridents today. 7.5 years on and the trees are maturing and becoming more complex. A good thing !!! Add that to recyling all my diatomite and all the grafting, man it takes alot of time, effort and commitment ! Not to mention the people you live with to be understanding. All in all Happy Days !!! :hooray: :hooray: :hooray:
