Just a few pics of my trees in training. These pics were taken in November and they now have a lot more growth on them but I am sure you get the jist of what styles I am trying to achieve. Comments are welcomed.

Thanks for sharing emi. Did you collect the Elm like that or did you manipulate the trunk to do that. Very unusual.

Hi bodhi

This tree was trained this way and has only now healed completely of the wiring. Here is a pic of he tree before I removed 2 branches.I removed the two branches to highlight the unusual trunk and hope in time will only get better

Nice work Mick,
however, i've said it before and i'll say it again, Keep your trees roots buried until they are more developed. As yours are now(exposed to air) they will not thicken , if they were buried ,they would thicken and your tree would have a spread of nice sized roots, unlike now how they are skinny,messy and not pleasing to look at.
