    15:33 The main trunk bother me a lot, i want to cut that thing.
    18:00 i like the one on the left. but I think it's good contrast if we put it side by side like this, so we can keep the main trunk for the one on the right side. XD
    and for the wedge, using a bamboo is kinda better IMO.
    ty for the share.

    With the copper brace, use your pliers and wire cutters, hold both ends and twist. It will work harden the copper better for this exact purpose, then just fix the points if needed.

    10/10 I dont understand the Japanese aesthetic choice of putting lime sulfur to whiten their tree. But then you mention about covering up the old scar on the tree. It reminds me of Geisha that wears those white make-up. Maybe thats why.

      I imagine Deshojo, shin Deshojo or a Beni Maiko would be superb for that. They have the vivid red leaf and the bark tends to be lighter grey as they age - though often helped with jin fluid/lime sulphur.

    Bjorn I have a question regarding the use of Lime Sulphur, did you make it yourself or is it commercial?
    Watching the video I have the feeling that its texture is very thick and its color is practically white like milk.
    My Lime Sulphur however is orange in color.
    I really liked the technique of applying it to the trunk to age it.
    Best regards and thanks for the video.
