Salix progression thread

[Ugo]

Hi everyone!

I did some work on the tree today.
I had to do at least one more cut during the growing season to keep branching in proportion.

I also changed my approach about the dig out preparation. My expectations were to install a 24x24x6inch box around the tree at the end of the growing season but due to this major cut timing I think I will wait until next Spring to proceed.

Here today's work in pictures before/after:

Hi everyone!

Autum is a good timing here to do some more cuts.
Next year I will start to work on the root mass in order to transfer the tree into a pot.
