Re: [Steven] Crabapple
Really interesting piece you've got there... Are you planning on keeping the bends & curves going when you get to branching & ramification...can't wait to see how it turns out.

Re: [Steven] Crabapple
Time to get some wire onto the branches to compliment the curves in the trunk. Might consider replanting it as a semi cascade.

Re: [Steven] Crabapple
I removed some unnecessary branches last night and put a bit of wire on. I'm liking the semi-cascade option for this one. Hopefully I can get some better branch structure happening.

Steven

Re: [Steven] Crabapple
I repotted, compressed the trunk and changed the angle. Rewired the lower trunk too. I'm looking forward to getting more branching now.

Re: [Steven] Crabapple
Hi all,
Here is my final entry for this Crabapple.
Future development will be to get more refined branching and hopefully the trunk will fuse so I can remove the cable tie.
It hasn't flowered or fruited yet so I'm looking forward to seeing what colour it is.
Final height is 100mm
Regards,
Steven
