Here is a half clean piece of wood, I believe you two have met?
Almost finished cleaning it up! Have posted under this forum because this will be a progression on a Juniper Phoenix/Tanuki

Nice chunk of Timber.

Hi Mr Moganic , yes i believe we have . That's going to be one hell of a Phoenix Graft . If you start with good material all the hard works basically done , bit like the yamadori they collect overseas old aged material and your half way there . Look forward to seeing this complete and in full progression .

Cheers Mr Alpine

Would have been an impressive tree in it's own right.

I'm nearly there mate just need to hunt down some Shimpaku's to graft on! The nurser I go to has very few that I would deem to be usable.. and in fact very few in general. Might head up to Orient sometime to see what they're packing! I think we Phoenixers deserve more credit since less of the work is done for us!

Never got a full ID but I always though a Mel. Incana.

Wire brush stock for ozito rotary officially burnt out... TO THE BUNNINGS MACHINE!

Finally got a Juniper attached to this, but I'll be honest it's not the best looking thing right now haha. Got a LONNNGGG way to go.

Once I make sure the Junipers recovering nicely (Shimpaku - my favorite junis) I'll do some more work and post pics.

It has plenty of greatly placed branches just waiting on some thickening and shaping. Might be pushing it time-wise but the tree also needs a bit of a repot. Great opportunity to fit it into a larger pot rather than reducing too much from the roots, thus allowing plenty of room for growth and thus fattening of the trunks .

Update done, back to staring at my trees.
