collected celtis-broom style progression

[Istari]

great progress made on this one jamie can see where your going. I wonder if any trees are safe

[Pat093]

the "v" cut you made, wat does that do? is it more beneficial then just straight cutting it?
just a question.

hi guys

thanks for the compliments and no, not many trees are safe! especially when the saw is close by! the V cut was made soon after I had shoots to figure out where I could go, what it will do in time when it heals over will look a little more natural and will flow a lot more.

here is a couple of examples of that which has been done similar.

one day the celtis will have some nice ramification!

thanks Andrew I should of got a pic of the tree as of today, it is full of new leaves and is really filling up, but its still got a long, long way to go. for around 10-11 months work its coming along nicely though, especially considering it hasnt skipped a beat as it was collected on 31st of december 2009 and work was started on it very early as it responded so well. getting somethings sorted out early in a trees progression is one thing I beleive that is key. I like to do it this way as if I hold out then I will look at the tree and possibly pick up faults that annoy me which would take a lot to rectify.

Hi Jamie, I like the way this tree is developing and as it has been a while since you posted, I was hoping you could please update and show where the Celtis is at now?
Has the V-cut continued to reoll over?...are the branches thickening up?...are you starting on building the ramification?
Thanks, Dario.
