I cut 2 Escallonia back at the start of March with a view to collecting them next Spring.
After 2 months this is the growth they have put out. I was hoping to see budding right to the top of each trunk and I wasn’t disappointed.

Cut Backs Update
Just over a month ago I chopped back two big escallonia cut backs
A month on and the back budding is in full flow.

After looking at this Japanese White Pine in someone’s garden for the last year and a half, I plucked up the courage [brass necked it] and knocked the door. The lady of the house was home and seemed amenable to me replacing it with a Japanese Maple from my own garden. The Maple is nice but not suitable for bonsai and I have others. This Pine, if it survives could make an interesting tree to play with over the next 10-15 years.
I now have to wait for the husband to give the OK. Fingers Crossed 🙂
