March 2010:
The branches and twiggy growth are coming along nicely - the wound is still a big problem!
October 2012:
I have used one of the twigs to bridge the wound.

The graft/bridge has fused well.

Celtis africana - bridging the big wound.
June 2009:
I can not really remember where I got this material. The biggest problem with it was the big ugly wound low down.
March 2010:
I have cut back some of the thick branches and is slowly rebuilding the
branches. There is a big wound but the cambium is starting to roll over
so over time it will be healed. The wound extends just above the lowest
branch downward to the left. The branch indicated with the pink line
(picture 3) is going to help heal that area (closeup picture 4).

Hi Dheran.
ReplyDeleteNice to hear from you. Thanks for the compliment. Everything is well .....I am seriously trying to reduce my trees to 100-150!
Hi Lennard,
ReplyDeleteYou have really great ramification on the Celtis. Is it possible for you to share your ramification techniques used on the Celtis?
Many Thanks for a great site.
Hi Bob. I will do a step by step this growing season.
ReplyDeleteHi Lennard. I will be looking forward to the step by step process. I have tried the clip and grow techniques on my Celtis trees, but just cannot get that fine twiggy growth. I appreciate your efforts and thanks again.
ReplyDeleteRegards.
Bob
