This has been lifted and potted into its new home , 1 of the collected trunk from our club dig . The tray is a 560mm oval , base is 500mm wide , trunk is 250mm .It will be trimmed to around 850mm tomorrow and get wired for the growing season .

Cheers Alpineart

Gday Brian , mate I was talking to The Hacker earlier , his are going great guns as well . Any chance of a pic or topic on them , I remember those trunks well , be keen to see them now .

I think its time for a rest then I get an idea , just one more . This has had 6 thread grafts applied to the naked cut section . A quick trim down to 750mm and some wire . This will do until some shoots appear that can be wired or utilized as more thread grafts . Definately time for a break

I just wish t was mine!...Are you keeping all that long leader on top or just fattening it?

Hi Neli , the leader is to keep the energy flowing to the top and I will use the shoots for grafting lower down . There is a couple of buds up there that could be useful .

OK it makes sense. Thanks.

What an absolute beast!

Hi Biocs , in about 10 years time it will be a real beast , it is impressive and bloody heavy .

Cheers . Alpine
