This tree came from the closing of Splendid China Theme Park. A very impressive tree with a wonderfully thick trunk. I have defoliated the tree in hopes that it will go dormant and potted it deep in a nursery pot. Next spring should bring this tree to life and next winter it will be ready to be worked on.

This tree didn’t cooperate all that well this year. out of the three grafts that I tried only one took. The biggest challenges were the three hurricanes that hit Central Florida. This tree was moved so often and two of the grafts weren’t strong enough to take the handling. In any case you can see in the picture to the right where the thing twig goes in from the left and where the thick graft took at the right side. I will redo the other two grafts this winter.

The paste that I used here is available at the Orlando Bonsai Store

This image is about 4-5 months later. You can see that the thread graft took. The branch on the left is the source of the branch and is the same size as when the thread graft was started. On the right side is where the branch came out and is not grafted to the cambium on the right side. At this point I was able to clip off the branch on the left side and the branch continued to grow.
