My Little Blue Rug

[just.wing.it]

Got this one off the clearance shelf at Walmart last summer...
Crazy little trunk under that mop...


And some horrible wiring yesterday...



Might be cool in the future....
Fun to play with regardless....
Thoughts are always welcome.

Bloody nice!

How cool is it to fall in love with Blue Rug only to have it later validated by Ryan Neil?
Fucking dope!

I like the style you have it in for grow out....

But future is here for me.

Thanks for that editing idea... don't wanna reduce too much....
I took about 60% of the foliage away yesterday.
It had grown back well, from that initial cutback.

Yeah, I saw that video a few days ago....
Interesting tree...I will be curious to see if his air layering plan will work...very cool stuff.

Yeah blue rugs are great!
I love the color, and the tight foliage....it's soft too, a nice change after playing with a San Jose juni yesterday too, those things are worse than procumbens in the stabby category.

Or health stay....for x years!

So soft!

Like you want to roll around on the blue rug....with say....a Purple Cow?

Growing well.

Udpate...
Forgot the before pics, sorry...
Growing strong!
It was very blue at the end of winter... Now you wouldn't know it was supposed to be blue....green as can be!

Removed wire, removed unwanted branches...let it roll!

11 days later...
Runners are running...
Crazy how green the Blue Rug gets this time of year...

Time to trim my rug....
Forgot the "before pics"...it was a bit shaggier than the previous pics....

 

[sorce]

I would seek to remove the tops eventually...

I love how just the low foliage works with the trunk swoop.

Nice!

I really like this little tree. I would start looking for a nice pot for next spring.

You don't think the deep fat fryer is a good container for it? He could be starting a new trend ?

I like source’s idea in one of his pictures. I have done the same thing here at a different angle. Could this be a Bunjin Literati?

Thanks!
Yeah I was think that as well...
Any thoughts on shape?
Color?

I'm leaning towards an unglazed reddish color....and maybe a small drum style, round...

Yeah, of sorts!

It definitely could be. #8 first pic looks like a good start but I would perhaps think about keeping the main two trunks and making them either work together or play off each other. Maybe give it some time and you possibly use all three trunks to make a nice little tree.

Always a possibility.... I won't rule out anything yet!
