The other day I decided to redesign one of the small yews of my collection.
I was no longer satisfied with the former plan trying to pull the apex up, in order to avoid an unusual
appearance of the crowns tip, wich had an unreal tendency to make a loop toweards the ground.
Now I tried to solve this flaw of the overall design with a flat, roundshaped "dome" of the apex.
My aim was it, to evoke a more matured tree.
You decide, if I suceeded with this aspiration ...
Bought this one during the last trophy in Genk/Belgium from the stand of Danny Use.
A lot of backbudding ist going on this tree. The branches are much too long by now, but hencing the
backbudding by producing alot of energy for this Taxus. They will be shortened lately in upcoming
spring.
Looking foreward for doing a little carving here and there, especially on the scars of cut branches and
so on.
This particular tree had been very well prepared for further development. Thank you Danny! ...
Phase one: The accquired raw-material in 2021...
Phase two: "cutting out" the trunc-line, reducing the greenmass...
Phase three as of 2022: further reduction after a good growing-saeson ...
Phase four as of January 2023: First styling ...
Phase five: Second styling, the tree as of today.
Amd the overblended picture as I showed it before to demonstrate the ration of reduction from the former rawplant to the actual state of development:
Accordingly to this post`s title: pictures of the Chamaecyparis obtusa nana.
She really is strong and healthy. From now on, there will be just clipp n' grow on this prebonsai ...
I just unwired this one, There are a lot of backbudding going on this yew.
The green part of the tree is by far to large. The carvings definitely need to be overhauled and improved.
I am really lookig foreward for wintertime, when I will wire this yew again.
Here are a few glimpses before the next designing step.
An update of the windswept Hinoki.
What a pity that I can not show this tree with the help of some kind of holographic technique.
I mean, in nature the design of the tree is much more "3d-ish" and does not come as that bushy cluster
shown in the 2d image. But this always a matter of fact ... I designed this tree out of cointainer-material
from a nursery.
This Hinoki would suit very well in a moon-pot or on a stone-slap.
It is for sale, in spite of beeing far from glory.
Maybe someone becomes attached to this particular tree and is willing to enhance the initial
design-plan. Anyway, here are the pictures as of today ...
Not much to say about this small Thuja.
I just wanted to creat a clean design and getting to know
the reaction of this species to certain designing-interventions.
The leaves of this tree will even become smaller in the course of time.
Just a small clean tree ...
This tree will also be sold by the way.
