Hi all… I am working this calliandra has about 2 years and I less started the work of one year after made yamadori… The photo does not show well but the plant presented 7 trunks that, looking at superficially, seemed to form the rays of the wheel of a wagon. I was with it for almost 6 months before initiating works, without obtaining to enxergar something evident…. After " clic" … hands the workmanship…
Image
I eliminated 5 of the 7 trunks and 3 of these 5 had turned jins… I also made the first framework, more to try to enxergar an sketch of future structure…
Image
Beginning of formation of green mass, without bigger estruture still…
Image
This photo, made has 1 year more than, shows 2 details of jins, where if it perceives that it had rotten wood sufficiently that I removed, showing hollow that they invade the base of the trunk…
Image
This is a work in well initial phase still e, of slower form, already I am making one better finishing in jins, displaying gradual a little more than nebari… As idea of dimensions, this plant has about 18cm of diameter of base and 25cm of height…. The front perfectly is also not chosen, but it will have to be next to what I show in the photos… I have assayed some small rotations for a side or another one, trying still to see the position that will show the best movements of the trunks and nebari… I think about the future, in creating a pantry that is almost the fusing of the 2 pantries that I am starting to form, but after a time I only go to see if this idea if confirms as good… or not! …: -? In the spring I go to strengthen the fertilization well and, at the beginning of the summer I think that already I will be able to make a framework revision… Thanks Charles
