update_five_truncer

Here I go with an update of the linden with five truncs.
The tree is pretty strong and healthy.
This Tilia Cordata is for sale.
If the linden does not leave my garden , I will style her for next season
in a couple of weeks
That is okay for me as well ...

update_holsten_linden

Well, just for the record an update of the linden.
The roots had been freshly carved. They looked like some tubes
coming from out of the tree-base. Now they are flattened and will hopefully
integrade better to the Nebari.
The tree is for sale ...

thuja_occi._project

Another Thuja-project.
Just two years under my control yet.
The next two-years-shedule is to encourage leaf-grows.
The tree has to regain his power.
Around the beginning of July,
there will be a very soft first cutting of the shoots tips in order to promote backbudding
as long as a Thuja will do this anyway.
I am very happy abotr the fact, that the Thuja coped very good with wintering
wihout any damages.
Let's see how this project will turn out in a couple of years ...

monochrome_visions

To detect "weak spots" on a tree it may help to look at the tree without colours.
So did I with the field-elm (witch-elm).
And I have to  realize that there is alot more to do for a balanced or succeeded
branch-structure.


beauty_of_emptiness

Again my bonsai-companion Andrew gave me the honor for a mutual styling session.
I continued my work on the elm-project and Andrew refined  the develeoment of
one of his field-maples.
In the subsequent foto-session I suddenly discovered the significance of the empty
spaces within this particular creation.


For me it is simply one of the best example for the importance of empty spaces according to
bonsai-designing.
A cool tree at the early stages of  enfolding his venerability ...
