Now we are making progress. Another 6 months have past, and here we are the first day of Spring 2007. The branches have really filled in and the thin trunk is practically covered. I have focused more on pulling the branches down in order to give it a more thicker canopy. More branch development this year and hopefully next year this tree will be ready for show. Mar 2007

This tree is still developing braches in several areas. Also lower branches need to thicken up a great deal. So I will really control the growth on this tree this year. I don’t want the top of the tree to be heavy with growth because I want the bulk of the load to come from the bottom branches to send more energy, more food, an din turn more growth for those branches. The top will be thinned out through out the year so that new branches will bud from the trunk.
I also want to try leaf reduction on this tree to see how it will look, and if there are any areas that I need to work on now. Over all I am happy with the progress of this tree. January 2007

One year later and the tree has really filled in a lot more. As you can see I bent many of the branches on the right side more downward. This balanced the tree very well. Also by bending other branches down along the trunk line I am able to hide the thin trunk near the middle. Sept 2006

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
