neagari

Pulled these two out of a garden which i work in (as if I don't already have enough seedlings.) Decided to use these as my first experiment with neagari, keep them small and not bother so much about fattening trunks but to create interesting movement. Both had minimal root damage, but we are...

Here’s an example of a bunch of a small neagari project, using five different cultivars. Be aware there are a number of similar techniques to create neagari, but all yield the same end product. This technique was illustrated in a Satsuki Kenkyo magizing back in the day. We selected small 2-3...
