Looks great, what kind of tub/pot are these in?

Sorry I missed your question. They are in cheap plastic pot.

Base split of a BC collected last year.

Another base split

Still another base split. This one is a good size.

Any more shots of base splits that have healed? Really cool technique I might try on the one I got from you.

 

[Jailee719]

Also interested in some shots of this technique when its healed. Is this used for more taper? Or for better Nebari in the future?

Two of the trees I am selling show how well they heal after just one year. Long term they may close. This is used for both taper and better nebari.

I have been a busy bee with repotting my large keepers BCs from big pots to bus tub to get ready for the move up north.

This massive flat top will be moved to my brother’s front yard early this summer.

I saw in the tree thread you split the top of one then clamped it together. Is there a thread on that one?

The trunks are apart but the bases are already weaved together. 5-7 years project for a twin?

 

[Cajunrider]

Primary structure is all set for this informal upright

Wired this tree today. The top and bottom splits are healing nicely.

I split the trunk of this BC and did some sharp bends. This week I unwrapped the bend and found a dead portion. Now I need to figure out what to do with this tree.

I kinda figure out what to do with the short portions but no definitive idea with the long one.

I stared at this for two days. Final answer is decapitation.
