Acer palmatum. what can be done in three years.

Post by bodhidharma »

I posted this tree a while ago re the radical bending on a large trunk. It is probably time to revisit this tree as more work has been done. I will (for newer people) revisit this post a little. I cannot wait for Autumn Colour this year. This tree will be fully defoliated next week.It has taken about three years up to this point.
