Multi-trunk Pink - variety 'Parfait' - 2006   ©  B.Toghill

 

This pink, right, called 'Parfait' was used to try out our  pruning case study, as described in Newsletter 33 and in our Articles section.
 As you can see it is in excellent condition and was covered in flower last year '2007'.
I think that members should 'trial' this method and report back on their results.

Parfait - 2007    © B.Toghill

 

Here it is this year '2007', the tree is better than ever, clear proof that a ten minute clip and shape with shears as opposed to hours of wiring can give a spectacular result - although we are waiting for trial results based on several consecutive years pruning, before we can give a conclusive recommendation to this method.

<< This 'Orange flowered' tree which is almost certainly the variety "Kashuron" has been in my possession now for about 10 years and I love the colour. It has been grown as a broom type tree and this maximises the effect that the blooms have in springtime.

Pink - Sport of Osakazuki   ©  B.Toghill 2007

 

Spring comes early in Cornwall! - this picture was taken on 2nd April 2007 last year and shows one of my satsuki's in full flower. It too was pruned using the pink branch technique and, as you can see, is flowering its heart out. >>

Pictures sent in by Steve Davis showing a close up of flower and tree. Steve bought this tree from Alex Kennedy some time ago, and the striking feature is the colour combination. Unfortunately the variety is not known.  - thanks Steve for sharing it with us.

The tree above came into full flower on 5th May 2007, and is the variety called 'Gumpo'. As can be seen from the picture it is starting to take shape after several  years of training and is approx. 60cm high. Having reached the height that I now want I will now concentrate on getting the top and middle to thicken up by removing most of the new growth on the lower branches. (BT)
