The grafts didn't grow...did they take though? Or did they die? Not sure of your meaning.

I meant nothing sprouted. I haven't dared touch them. I've had grafts live and sprout leaves later in the season. For some reason they're weak. They might grow strong later if you keep them exposed to sunlight and prune back other branches. But they could fail later too if not cared for enough. I have a graft from spring on another, it just sprouted flower buds! I removed them of course. Hope the grow branches instead.

Ahhh okay now...I understand. Thanks for taking the time to explain.

Work is not "done" yet. I plan for more wiring and trim to shape the silouhette. Didn't add any grafts, and the two last ones did fail.

Sweet pot

Perfect choice, for my eye anyway.

This one has come a long way. I think you have enough branches. Time to switch to refinement.

Nice choice of pot, especially shape, color works well for flowers too.

Thank you! Yes, refinement . Hope I can make it nice and compact and full of blooms!

Looks very nice, and very good plant/pot combo
