Two potential mame to be from my cuttings

Source: Cuttings

Majority of leaves remained on the cuttings after 1 week plus, and subsequently, new buds started throwing out. Its more or less been about 3-4 weeks since they were cut off, as such i presumed very likely, they have rooted. Hurray for myself since i never really strike any cuttings before.

A stock i got from abby quite some time back when we met the first time. In fact i still have quite a few more small young stocks, wild grown, all given to me by her. The root is pretty interesting as it branches out into 2 tapering root of almost the same thickness. A wire has been tourniquet somewhere 1.5inches away from one of the two roots that forks out. Hopefully can develop more feeder roots to train it into a semi-cascade style instead of having long deep tapering root.

A bloom at last! This mame has been grown and trained indoor for about 6months using a T8 light, windowsil'ed. Im working on the root system, tourniqueting abit higher, hopefully will callus and force roots to develop so that it can be fitted into a more suitable pot as a semi-cascade.

Might tilt towards the left more and maybe wire the left trunk branches down abit as well.

First attempt at a suspended air layering via wire tourniquet method. I brought forward the timing before my reservist so hopefully by the time im back, that is about 1month after, i can see some positive results. Im using 1part vermi + 1.5parts peat moss, as my im leaving the top exposed and the wind here is pretty constant almost more than half day thru, so more peat will prevent drying out totally.

Took about 11-13days for new buds to appear, nearly thought it was a goner. Seems like i could use it to develop into future mame.

About 4 months of taking care. Some ramifications have been done, branches have thicken up abit and i noticed a small little flower bud is developing. The problem now lies with the root system. Its far too deep downwards for a semi-cascade. Might have to try wire tourniquet to induce rooting at the level of the current soil surface.

Will be doing the following after i finished my reservist(in camp training) after 25th July: Layer(wire tourniquet) top part off and grow as another stock. Then chop lower part down til near the root area and develop into a stilt-rooted styled shohin.

Accquired from OCH in Jan 2009. Same with all och plants i got back, dying... Finally nursed back to health, but the branch structuring is all messed up. Lack of good tapering, and many areas the branch do not alternate well. I still havent got an gd idea how to correct them yet, but i suppose huge cutting back has to be done if i were to re-structured the branches growth and directions.
