I have a Mediterranean cypress bonsai ('Swane's Golden) which I am growing in its traditional formal upright style. I was simply keeping it sheared, but this is not satisfactory, as the growth is uneven, and it is too bunchy in spots, bare in other spots. I decided to try wiring it, but not sure of the right approach. The only picture I have of a cypress treated this way is a tiny photo in the Simon & Schuster book. The Europeans all do this species in the Kimura style, since they are collected (and probably not 'Stricta' anyway). I was hoping that wiring the branches straight out would encourage more sprouting on bare spots. Any suggestions? Iris , I will post a picture of an Italian cupressus (two trunk style) , hoping it will be useful . best wishes , marco ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by Ken Rutledge++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?
