Picked up a new project yesterday... A Premna.
This little guy only cost $75 dollars. Had a cool design that I thought I could make something nice out of it.
I could of just gone a more simple route with the style I am choosing for it and would of had an almost finished tree from the get go...
But, instead chose to grow out some lower branching to make a much more complex design with time. Cut back hard all branching above,
to start pushing some ramification, premnas do this really easily and fast. Also, cutting back up top, helps push lower branches to thicken then up.
If I let these grow by the end of next year, they should be about the same size as the main trunks...Still need some fine wiring done.
Style I am going for is like Min Lo's tree in the last photo.
First pic is tree before. Second work I have done so far.
