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_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.

Tilia_7 Virtual

This is a virtual-draft of the Holsten-Linden.

It goes without saying that this draft will need al long, long time

to become reality.

Anyway, that is fine by me ...

 holsten_linde

( The name holsten_linde refers to the collecting-site of the tree, 50 kilometers northbound of my home. This very nice area is called Holstein and it is part of the northern german lowlands).
Well, I wish I could say "sorry" to this tree. This linden came to me in the beginning of 2012.
Because of some mistakes in the fertilising-concept, I almost killed this tree.
But now she is regaining.
In autumn this year I will have a look wether the tree is ready for some basic carvings.

pretty in pink

Update Tilia_2

Pink and fresh green.
I love the colour of the buds's tiny leafs in contrast to the colour of the new shoots.
It is a snapshot of the lindens spring, that will vanish all too fast.

There are maybe too many branches so far, but cutting is easier than growing ...
In two weeks or so, the wire will be removed. The tree will be allowed to grow freely this season.
