Suthin special!

A look at the temp and humidity at 5:30pm in the greenhouse:) Humidity will go up another 15% in 30 minutes or so, I had the door and vent open while I was arranging the tree's in there.

 
Last tree for the year ? Lol Wish something like that would just "show up" on my doorstep.
 
Another great tree! Don seems to be the man that is able to supply a steady supply of quality trees! Good on you for buying quality.
 
Nice tree, though I think your front is the last few pictures.

IDK exactly who makes the pot. On the bottom it has a JW or a WP, kinda hard to make it out.

Did some wiring on this tree, trimmed the roots and put it in a shallower pot with much better soil.:)View attachment 129072

Joe, let's look at the wiring on that bottom right branch. Looks like you started at the Y close to the trunk and wired out 2 1/2 turns with the brown wire. (I would have started with the anchor on top, but that doesn't matter.). And then you doubled up.

You stopped right before another Y. At this Y, you started again at a crotch, this time with black wire. And again you doubled up.

The problem is, the brown wire ends, and the black wire starts. They don't overlap anywhere. That is, at least one piece of the brown wire should go up one leg of the next Y for 1 1/2 turns. Then when the black wire is added, that 1 1/2 turns where the two wires, one brown and one black, lay side by side, the black wire is anchored by the brown wire. As it stands now, there's nothing holding them together to act as a single unit. If you tried to bend the branch down, it could break at that spot instead of bending.
 
Here is a video explaining wire placement.
 
That trunk looked like a cross between a lobster and an octopus the first time I glanced at it... nice.

Okay I reworked it a little bit last night, is this a little better?
