The Tree Thread

You are right, of course, in general. In this case, though, the main cuts were done 4 years ago, and the large guy wire was put there more than a year ago. So this time it was just structural wiring and maybe 10% green removed.
Also, I am in the zone 6b/7a and winters are not harsh here, so I am certain that nothing will happen to it.
Thanks for the advice, though

Sounds good. But now you owe a tree pic!

So now, no tree picture - Midgard Serpent in my garden instead

Nice tree. I have several American hornbeams. Great trees to work with. You've got a good one to work with for sure.

 

[snowman04]

I agree!!!

Semantics, I know, but if you post In This thread, you should also be including a picture of one of your trees with every post.

Sorry, you are correct. Here is 2 years on one of my Carpinus Carolinianas. Great trees.

That "chandelier style" JBP will lose its lower needles to become jins.
Yes, its trunk needs thickening up, but that will come with time.

 

[snowman04]

I agree!!!

Some JBPs for spring...

Korean hornbeam after about three years of work…. More to do for sure, but it’s starting to shape up!

 

[Hartinez]

Angle change needed. But I wired out this elm. I’ve got a hillside slab/pot idea I may explore come spring.
