amazing how the little things like reducing the deadwood and raising lower branches can really improve an image. i wanted to maximise the mutli trunk/clumpy feel. reducing the deadwood puts more emphasis on the the sub trunks and the movement incorporated into the trunks is clearer

there's currently more branches on this tree than it needs for health reasons because in spring ill look to reduce the root ball a little

the Up n down habit of the branches mimics the natural growth pattern on most European Yew

A hornbeam and pomegranate in my allotment, with some autumn colours

both of these have the potential to be good trees, they will benefit from a spell in the growing beds

Speaking of pines (which nobody was for many, many posts now ), @Adair M used talk a lot about how promiscuous red and black Japanese pines are. This is one such progeny, my "Red Black" (not to be confused with Red Greene). - p. densi x thunbergii 'Jane Kluis',

What??? We’re having a shortage of pine posts? Horrors!

Let’s remedy that!

Here’s my “Exposed root Japanese White Pine Semi-Cascade”:

Shore Pine heard about the Land Shark, left the bog and climbed a mountain!

Older Shore Pine did not believe the story of the Land Shark and stayed put.

Been playing about with this nursery Hornbeam. it lacks taper, but im going to work with it in its current form, without chopping it lower. i think in time..... it can be good for its subtle movement and high level of ramification, clean trunk, the two scars on the tree will heal over. could be a tall, narrow park tree and one day sit in a shallow oval

Acer Palmatum.

Acer Palmatum.

Thought that was a full size tree at first glance.

 

[Brian Van Fleet]

Unwired, pruned, and needle-plucked this corker today. The wires had been on for 4 years.?

Your tree looks like it is a body builder, super strong! Here is a fun younger Kotobuki I quite enjoy, just before a fall pruning. @bonhe I have been keeping some of your interesting KBP and JBP in mind as I grow this one.

This thread is pretty awesome, I browsed back almost 40 pages over the past week or so to look at trees and find some inspiration.
This is my best looking tree at the moment.(feels like I’ve posted it everywhere these days) Non tree people think it’s pretty spectacular, so I have that going for me, which is nice. I gradually started lifting the rock so I can have more soil underneath.


There’s something big coming in the near future, just hold on to your butts, and be patient
