Masterpiece
This is an itiogawa shimp I have been training for about 4 years. It has be coming along very steadilly over the last 4 years. This year, I noticed that the trunk is noticeably starting to thicken up...
I originally found this at the nursery in a one gallon plastic nursery container. It looked like a stick with some tufts of foliage and one long branch. I thought it had some potential because of the one long branch. Unfortunately I cannot find the pic of it in the container as is. The only pic I found was after it was put in a terra cotta grow pot after it was rounghly styled and had grown out a bit.
Pic 1 after first styling with some growth after being put in a grow pot
Pic 2 is the tree about 2 years later.
The rest of the pics are this season after the work was done and then it was put into a different pot.
The pics make the apex look a bit heavy, However in person, it looks more balanced. Actually, this tree is ramified pretty well for its size. I did include a pic of the cascade ramification, but it looks bettter in person. This tree is far from done and I consider it to be maybe a little more than 1/2 of it's training completed
Any comments or crtiques are always welcome...
