Here’s the front. Coming along very nicely. I need to do some carving on the top right third of this tree. It is a little heavy up there and looks to thick. Hopefully sometime this year I’ll get the chance.
This tree was root pruned rather hard this spring, and never slowed down. The goal was to get the tree into a very shallow pot. The reasons for this are first to make the trunk look bigger, and secondly so that I could lift the thing. The tree was wired out, and is developing very well. This summer I plan to do some carving so that the top tapers more and blends better. The photo is of the back of the tree. July 2005

This tree was on display at the BSF convention in Port Canaveral. However the wrong front was displayed. Oh well I can see why, the tree was planted in the pot incorrectly. As you can see the foot of the pot needs to be centered in the front, or split between two legs. July 2005

This tree has come into it’s own this year. Finally all the branches are on where they need to be, and it is filled in nicely. I will develop the back bottom branch a little further, and then rewire the branches this winter to get them more uniformed. However this tree is going to be ready for show next year. July 2005

Some set backs this year. During last years hurricanes this tree did not get watered for two days because of the power being out. By the time I realized it the damage was done. I wasn’t sure of how much, if not the whole tree was lost. Well it did survive but lost two major branches. The first is on the right side from right next to the jin. The second is the middle left where the big gap now exists. Good news is that the tree has already budded out new growth for the two areas and should fill in nicely this year. It’s a substantial set back because those branches were beginning to develop nicely, but I’m just happy to have the tree healthy and alive. April 2005
