the saga of mugo pine nr. 19 #4

In summer of 2005 Peter Thali decided that the tree was heathy enough for really drastic styling. The problem was that the foliage was very far away from all the wonderful deadwood. and the living branch or trunk was way too straight. So it was brought back with force. What an operation! Then one year later, in summer of 2006 the tree is compact and looks like it did not mind the bending.
