Hey Jules, thanks for posting this. I think the failures are as important as the successes, and it gets everyone thinking about new methods.

Reading your thread has me considering using a brad nailer or maybe a finishing stapler to hold the trunks. I probably wouldn't use wax either. I guess I am not a wax person, but I have some dead stumps I would consider trying to revitalize in this way.

How the stumps got dead is another chapter in the voodoo bonsai genre.

Thanks for your pain in the interest of advancing bonsai science or bonsai voodoo. I have been thinking about adding this thread to the startpage, but can't decide whether it belongs in the

HUMOR category or
HOW (not) TO area?

In any case I won't be surprised if this tree makes a nice bonsai for you at some point in the future, despite the pain. I rate it a five/5 for innovation.

Regards,

Matt
