Good job creating the tree, good story behind the tree as well. I am enjoying your informative videos.I just inquired my first two shimpaku junipers they are very young only about six inches 😊
David, a great start on "Mother' I can see the layers in the crown already, it's pity about the long straight trunk but i'm sure we can get around it. 👏
I’ve put up a few videos in the past on some of the air layers and their progress. These take time but yes I will always do videos on their progression.
It is interesting that the juvenile foliage is not what is produced on the growing tips. Trees are so much more complex than they look! Shimpaku as a cascade, that reminds me of a tree I have seen somewhere . . . ! ;)
Nice video! How do we know when to use raffia and when is the best time to perform this work? Semi cascade is a great idea think im going to try this on my shimpaku this year if it looks right
I would only use raffia if the trunk was much thicker and I only wanted to bend in one basic direction with some movement. Raffia doesn't allow me to put it massive twists and turns that I like to create.

I'd be interested in watching a video of some or all of the trees that you have made from the air layers of this mother tree.

Hi David I was told to do major bends in fall so is it ok to bend in spring ???
I do it anytime I remember or have the time to do it.
