Looking good.

Started this ROR wiandi a few years ago and after being under soil that whole time, I decided to lift it and start exposing the roots. Really pleased with the way its gripping the rock. Good thing is, there is still a good amount of rock below the soil surface. Scale wise, the roots, rock and tree should be in good balance for sometime.

The one you so kindly sent me grew like crazy over the winter. I took some cuttings Sunday and hopefully I can pay it forward.

Thank you. Unfortunately no, I haven’t struck any new cuttings in a while. Carol may have a few here at some point though!

We'll see how they do. But if they take @AnutterBonsai , I will definitely let you know.

I've yet to have a cutting from my benjies NOT strike. Only a few from routine structural pruning, but 100% so far, even under the crappiest conditions.
