These are some cutting that are basically giving me the shari's

, so i decided to reduce the stock by making a couple of triple trunk versions .When 6 becomes 2

that' s reducing , maybe not in size but definitely in number.

. I'm hoping to produce more of a raft style than a clump style .They were simply screwed together with stainless steel screws .Well that takes care of 10 minutes of my day , mind you i planted out 4 trays of Mini Red Crab Apples before sunrise and prior to the wife waking this morning She's on an RDO so i let her sleep in . , i had things to do before the heat of the day

Im going to take heaps of cuttings from my pj figs when it comes time to prune again will probably try something like this as well.... so any updates on what happened with these ?

Hi KYBonsai , mate due to health issue most things around here have been neglected . I have played with these over the last 2 weeks and potted them into various configurations

so they can be moved indoors for the winter

. I defoliated them earlier in the week , not much to look at but it is progress in the right direction .

Cheers Alpineart

Hope all is well mate
They look healthy so that's good will be good to see them in few years
Glad I don't have to bring mine in for the winter, living in the tropics is great for figs

Hi KyBonsai , Things could be better but no-one to blame but me . The tropics has advantages as does the multi seasoned Southern state . I'd like to get the growth rate of the tropics , i have the set up , just not set up . I'm a gunna one day when i'm fit and dangerous , set up the hot house that's been filed in the shed for a few years .

Cheers Alpine

Well hope everything gets better alpine
Yes I wish we could grow the deciduous trees here and get amazing fall colour but can't have everything
I have one little maple that is doing ok I think I haven't had it long so hopefully it bursts into life in spring
