Masterpiece
I got these two Golden Chamys of different types two years ago at a roadside nursery where the owner lets things grow without messing with them. Chamys and Cryptomerias will often back bud easily down low if left alone, although they will almost never do so if one tries to induce back budding. As can be seen, these two had potential due to such low back budding, and the owner didn't "clean them up" like a regular commercial nursery would, which is why I don't mess with such commercial nurseries. They were each about 5-6' tall and cost about $60-70 each. Two years into training I think they are already starting to manifest the potential I first saw in them. Now about a foot tall.
I post them for your inspiration, education and enjoyment. Feedback, as always, is most welcome, if it comes from the two or three of you not on my ignore list, and as long as it fulfills my "glowing praise" criteria.
First is a beauty with the softest, most subtle foliage I've ever seen.
The second tree has been more challenging, and until just this past month I have still been toying with a chop and jin above the lower foliage pad. I thought instead, however, I'd give it a few years, and have liked the way the upper foliage and the overall design is progressing, so for now it will stay as it is.
