Hi All
Here is a unusual tree that i pick up about 6 months ago for $39.00, Cederas Brevifoilia (Cedar of Cyprus) 2 to 4 metres in ten years so the tag says, about a 1 metre tall ATM.
Nice fine foliage grafted onto standard cedar stock, it is quite flexiable so I should be able to put some nice movement into the tree.
Will have fun with this one
Hope you all enjoy
Cheers
Chris

Re: Cedar of Cyprus
Cedars can't do anything wrong for me. They turn me on, so to speak. How big are you thinking of for the eventual tree? Cuttings and air-layers do work with them. I think that I see three trees there in one season by air layering in two places, or even four. The two long branches are cuttings as well. Great glee!
Sorry. I didn'r realise that it was intended for Literati when I wrote the above. Perhaps only two trees then.

Re: Cedar of Cyprus
Finally got around to the styling today.
Prior to the start with a little pruning. Then the main trunk was wired & bent The 3 branches that are to be used, where wired and placed into postion. no foliage was removed from the top of the tree at this time. Then I needed to compress the res of the tree to form an apex, at first I left a Jin on, but didnt like it. Start height 1.4 metres, finish height 690mm
