I have a number of deciduous trees in my collection and now that they have all lost their leaves for this year it is time to show them in their bare glory.

I like to look at deciduous trees in their winter state because you can see everything so much clearer. It also lets you plan the necessary work over the coming year as you can see all the areas where improvement needs to be made.

This tree was dug in Canberra in the mid 1990’s and has been with me ever since. It is still under 30 cm in height and the ramification is starting to really develop.
