Feathery trees are a type of wild tree native to Boshan, Shandong, belonging to the Oleaceae family of perennial deciduous trees. The bark is rough and scaly, the leaves are elliptical, the flowers are white with four petals, and they bloom from late spring to early summer. The oldest trees can live for over a thousand years. Boshan is located in the central part of Shandong, where the feathery tree trunks are old and twisted, with exposed roots and branches full of flowers. Many enthusiasts of tree trunk potted landscapes love to collect these trunks to make potted landscapes. Some also use the feathery tree trunks as rootstocks to graft southern evergreen plants like osmanthus, achieving success. Tests have shown that after grafting osmanthus onto feathery tree trunks, the trunks are grand, with intertwined roots and a robust and strong appearance. The flowers are abundant and fragrant, full of interest, and also enhance the drought and cold resistance of osmanthus, making it very suitable for cultivation in the north. When you go into the mountains to gather wood, choose trunks that are uniquely ancient, with short plants, exposed roots, and full of natural beauty. After bringing them back and planting them, you can move them into various pots based on the shape of the trunks and then proceed with pruning, bending, root lifting, binding, bud removal, leaf removal, and trimming before grafting.
