klumpen_linde
(Translation of klumpen_linden = linden_clump. The name refers to the compact appearance of the trunc-line. The linden is nearly as high as wide...)

- There is a lot of carving-work to do
- Some of the branches are not able to be wired, because they are too thick
- After some basic designing-steps, the tree will be allowed to grow freely
  for the next years
After some basic work:

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 ...

Tilia_1

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
