Nursery Stock Conversion Kit

The fastest way to a convincing tree is buying a thick trunk from a nursery and cutting most of it away. That means heavy work: a saw for the chop, pliers for deadwood and jin, sealant on every large wound, and a cheap mica pot to hold the tree while it recovers. Grafting supplies help when the trunk is good but the branches are missing. Choosing raw material. Making the trunk chop. Deadwood and jin work. Sealing large wounds. Adding branches where there are none. A cheap pot for recovery.
