How interesting! I didn't know trees of that size/age could be trained like that. I thought it would break. Very beautiful tree. Looks like a bonsai!

+Orchids & a Dutchy You do have to be careful not to break branches. That snapping sound is such a bad one. Thanks for watching, Andrea :)

+Gardening at Douentza What is your name?

loving this video. i have recently purchased a house with quite a mature cypress shaped tree. What is the best feed and maintenance program for these? I live in UK east midlands.

It already looks so much better! good job! Very inventive your husband :) I got to say it looks much more natural with rocks than with stakes :)

Gardening at Douentza​ First of all you have a lovely way of presenting evrything. And second, I do love nature in general, but I don't have space to grow anything else for the moment. Well, except orchids :D Always find a place for them. And you wouldnt belive it but my orchids are really enjoyng staying little bit crowded :D I can bet they are playing cards or something right now :)) They are close friends :) Can't wait to visit your garden 😍

湯 茂 林 Maurice Hi! well it depends on the orchid media you are using. Also, I need first to know which part of the world are you from :D Because you wont find for example what I buy here in Europe

Great work, Rachel. It takes patience to get the job done fully but it is worth it. Is that one of the Yuccas I gave you thatI see in the Photo?

Has there been any updates posted regarding this tree and the success of the training?

copper wire around each branch as a coil and can bend that branch in any direction and will remain. Keep wires on until branch hardens and matures maybe two years

Thanks for the tip 🙂

Giant bonsai ! Take care that the top branch doesn't split - 'forks' love to just slowly part company while you stand and watch. (Not that I've done that of course!) That reminds me - ALL my bonsai need repotting so I must remember to watch the buds for signs of swelling - but it does mean going 'outside'. Out there at the moment is -2C. In the orchid plant room, it's 19C. Now where shall I have my coffee.............

your top branch could've been moved Aunty by using a wooden wedge sandwiched between the branches, as the wood sets to the shape you increase the size of the wedge

Looks better with the rocks rather than stakes anyway but we use what works to get the job done.

+Gardening at Douentza It is depressing everywhere. Over here it is worse. The government is slapping austerity right across our faces but nobody has realised it yet. I followed the Scottish referendum; now it feels like I am sleepwalking but wide awake. On a cheerful note I bought three Cattleya(-esque) orchids this week. One I have wanted it for so long
