A few trees in the works
Posted: December 8th, 2013, 7:01 pm
Thought I'd share a few trees in training, I'll never get the great leaf colour but some deiduous trees grow well in my climate.
Just picked up the Pear today, great deadwood just needs a little more feature in some areas. I call the English Elm the 'Banyan', it and the Quince are both in Erin pots for now. The Elm is currently building a new apex and working on ramification in general. Will get a hard wiring in winter.
The Crepe Myrtle was from a previous post HERE. It has been tilted to a more semi cascade line. Im leaving 2 sacrifice branches for now and pulling off flower buds to keep the leaves pushing through. Ramification should be pretty good by winter, trimming this thing weekly
