I moved all my trees off their benches with a big storm blowing through!

No picture, but here’s one of aome trees I wired recently. Red chojubai and red alder, Alnus rubra.

tight... either need bigger place or less trees 😂
Less trees?! That’s blasphemy! (The two side pergolas will likely be converted into heated greenhouses too next year)

Photo tax: A Sierra juniper I recently pruned. There was quite a bit of discrepancy in strength between the lower foliage and the apex. Kept most of the lower foliage untrimmed and reworked the apex heavily.

I’m sure that’s a nice tree, wish I could actually see it in that picture. 🤣

Quick and dirty styling on this clump that @LuZiKui gave me. I think it’s a Siberian Elm?

@Ruddigger Yep, Siberian Elm from @cmeg1 . Looking better already!

Photo tax: Spent a few hours cleaning out a little 10'x10' garden plot. I've watched a couple videos of guys who use mulched leaves over their garden beds and I wanted to give it a try.

Also I'm paying for the sins of whoever made this little garden bed. They used plastic weed barrier which is now disintegrating. They also left 3 stumps and just covered them with the weed cloth. AND they also planted mint which was going wild in there 🤦‍♂️.

I never saw your yard in CA but it looks like you've got a really nice one now! Hope all is well after the move.

Photo tax: My baby crape myrtles are turning color.

I'm gonna make my greenhouse sides removable so I can just convert it into a pergola during the summer. They get too hot in the summer to be of use to me.
 
This tree languished after working it a few years ago. It grew well this year so I took out some length and thinned a good bit, aiming to keep what’s buffed on the interior. Reused wire and added one more in the apex. This tree needs lots of cutback but should allow for that next year. A bit of soji should see the soil thru one more year.

Once it’s growing like I want I will likely remove a lower branch or two.
