In April 2009 I decided to change one of my medium Chinese elms a slight move to the right with the Apex, it was the 13Th by the way. Well the top snapped of OH bugger.

So I Tried to bend the branch that was left up after carving it out a bit. Then wrapping it in some furniture webbing which I have used with success, heavy wire some bending jacks and up it came.
So it was left till August the same year. the wrapping was taken off because the foliage was nice and green! stored energy. Because the top just fell over and dropped on the floor OH bugger.

So we have to clean up what is left and start again OH bugger. Well we have come this far in 2 and a half years plus a bit.

This is the return of OH bugger.

Still battling mate , you are one person I know that will cope, you have a very positive nature and the ability to overcome.

Hiyo,

An excellent recovery. Clearly made by someone who knows more than me about tree shaping. How about a tutorial?

Cheers,

Good job Pup. I love it when people don't give up on a tree! With few exceptions there is always something that can be salvaged with some vision, time and a bit of pixie dust!
