Paradox
Imperial Masterpiece
This is a JWP that a friend of mine picked up at a local nursery. He asked me to help him with the design for it.
He thought it might make a nice cascade and I agreed so we decided to put a bend in it last month.
So we applied a couple of backbone wires, wrapped with raffia then wired the branch. We wrapped that in medical wrap (figured we would try it and see how well it held up as a wrap) then secured that in spots with electrical tape. We wanted to try the medical wrap because it breathes and would allow the raffia to dry and not keep the bark wet.
The tree before the bend
Tree after the bend
It just needs some wiring of the branches which we didnt get to and allowed to grow and fill out some.
Should make a nice tree IMO.
