Celtis - Don't know why I don't know what I am doing.

Post by lennard »

:palm:

The tree was chopped 2 years ago and this is what I had in mind for it:

I did not like the straight lines with this style so I chopped the new apex. Here is a pic with my dog protecting the masterpiece after some drought:

This is the tree after a haircut and defoliation end December 2010:

Any comments and advice welcome.

I really like this style. It reminds me of trees we see in African documentaries and films.
All difficult things have their origin in that which is easy, and great things in that which is small.

Thanks for the kind words Hugh and Rowan.

I will update as soon as the tree has leaved out.
