Here are a few Picea Engelmannii that were collected between Fall '06 and Spring '07 that I felt needed to be twisted and turned. These are first stylings - more growth and ramification is needed! I didn't do deadwood work at this time, but all will get that treatment in the future. Due to the trees being in plastic growing pots, nebari's aren't visible - but, most are inferior at this juncture, so no real loss that you can't see them now. A variety of pics for your viewing pleasure.
Note, I am still trying to hone my photo skills, so no being mean there. I am fighting with the 3D vs. 2D difference and how to properly stage a tree for the photo - as I have really noticed that branches need to be moved into different positions for the photos, and still some branches appear out of position.
Oh, and this is the functional method of wiring - so nobody say nothin' about crossed wires...
#1 A before and after of a tall, skinny twin trunk. The left subtrunk got twisted and bent nicely - but branches do cross infront of the trunk now. 24" from soil line.
