About Blue Atlas Cedar 1
Took multiple cuttings and even tried an air layer. Ultimately it never worked and I ended up composting the remains.

Air Layer
Air layered the tree to see if there is anything to do with it. It presents a challenging design problem.

Repot
Chopped top off, took 17 cuttings into rooting hormone and potting soil. Straightened and reduced roots, exposed nebari. Considering taking remaining cuttings with rooting hormone and water, and discontinuing work on this tree since it has a graft onto Deadora Cedar (probably) root stock. . Grafted a couple blue atlas cedar branches into deadora cedar trunk, could be interesting if they succeed.
