update_linden_clump

And an update of the linden_clump.
Repotted this spring, so from now no major works untill late summer.
Just Clip and grow. There will be a carving session in autumn to make the
trunc-relicts more intrgrated in the overall-design.

 

The original clump of 2013/14

Another Taxus-project. A Taxus baccata freshly taken out of the field.

than I would know that I have done everything right... ;-)

Very small leafes she has, by the way ..

update_prunus_cerasifera

After a couple of years I decided to break the straight line of the trunk into something broken and perforated, while incoporating the upcoming son-trunc.
Well and this is the result before a further serious redesigning in summer 2019.
