Re: Crataegus literati
ahhhh so it does if you can get that to work for ya then you might not have to chop...aaron_tas wrote:thanks for your thought jamie, i will consider it
although i do like the height to trunk width ratio, and in my next post i think ill pick the line from the few fronts (that i haven't even considered properly yet) to choose from.
check the shadow on the wall, the straight bit does move a little
just build an apex and maybe a secondary if it allows ya too

Re: shimpaku bunjingi entry 1
Picking your viewing angle is usually determined by root movement, in Bunjingi it is not as much a concern. Not to say it is not important.
Round pots that are the usual for Bunjingi allow you to have more than one preferred viewing angle. If it is good enough all teachers will tell you if you have this problem you have succeeded.
Good luck Pup
