there has been alot of talk recently about trunk chops and sumo figs.
i was lucky enough to grab one of dave54's that he was selling.
most of the trunk work had already been done and now it was just the branching to be sorted.
this is how i got it ( sorry dave pinched your original foto) 2day before a hair cut.
after a hair cut
after reducing the top and wiring the back branch down.

the bottom two branches need a bit more thickening then will be chopped back.

nice work strawbs,

the hard work has been done and the fun part has been started, it looks like ya getting a good branch placement there and i am liking the top where you are starting to make movement in the apex, this will work well with the overall appearance of the tree.

once again i am envious of you aswell if i was on when these were for sale i would of snatched one or two of these up myself

good work

look forward to seeing more

jamie

could you show us the back of the tree so we could see how the tree was trunk chopped aswell please mate? i am trying to develop these myself and would love to know where the cuts were made


jamie

Hey Jamie, if u check out the for sale section, i think there is a shot from the back, most chops have pretty much
closed over. ive done a few other figs in the last month that ill put up in the next few days.
cheers
