Dear friends,
it is with greatest delight that I am able to announce a breakthrough in long-lasting horticultural endeavours in the particular field of forestry.
As we all know, the alder (Alnus), being a member of the birch family of trees (Family Betulaceae) usually is a deciduous type of flowering plant and as such is losing it's verdancy during autumn and winter in a process known as abscission.
Nevertheless, there are very few species of alder - such as the Alnus jorullensis - that are indeed keeping their greenery throughout the year, thus being called Evergreen.
Using the horticultural technique of grafting it was now successfully achieved to pair such said Evergreen alder with rosewood, a richly hued timber belonging to the genus Dalberga. To ensure proper vascular joining of the two types of wood (inosculation) and give a maximum of stability to the joint, the rosewood branch is being held in place by means of a metal plate and screws - a technique well known in the medical specialty of surgery.
So, without further ado, let me present you the result which can be regarded an outstanding achievement in aesthetics and tone.
You might notice that the Silhouette of this newly composed timber indeed is Special...
Coming from it's former habitat - a texan tone-wood enthusiast's tree nursery- it adopted well to the mild middle european climate
Gladly, it survived the replanting process in immaculate shape
Perfect result of the grafting process by superlative craftsmanship
