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_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.
