Update of the hollow linden.

Before wiring:

After designing.

- the "christmas-tree"-shape will disappear in the next seasons
- the deadwood-areas will be improven the next weeks

A picture of Lactarius camphoratus (?) under the hollow linden.

Maybe the apperance of this fungus is the result of adding Mycorrhizal fungi 

on repotting this spring.

Looks nice and is a good sign for upcoming symbiontic relationship.

Well, I hope this fungus is a friendly one ...

Update Tilia_1

 

- Well, she is not even one and a half years in my posession!

- It seems to me quite amazing, how this brave linden coped with the total leaf-pruning 

  three weeks ago

- Next year there will be an exchange of substrate

- Designing of branches will be just done with guy-wireing and pruning

Tilia_3 update

- She is really ragaining
- Further designing will be managed only with guy-wireing and pruning

Tilia_2

Tilia_2 update

Tilia_1

Tilia_1 update 

The carving of the trunk will be overhauled and hopefully improved in autumn.

Untill then, I will be equipped with some "non-rotating" carving-tools.

The tree is doing well. Some leafs are the size of a man's hand,

as intended at this stage of development.

Pruning will be done shortly before the longest day of the year.
