The most impressive new mugo - part 5
Now some more detail work was done. First the ugly stump on top was made to look a bit more natural. Then It was found that on many places the bark was dead. It was removed and much mor shari areas were uncoverd. The deadwood areas that Juergen had worked on were enhanced with wire brushes and smaller bits to take out the man-made look. This all is not at all meanign to degrade Juergen's work. It is most normal for a tree to be reworked one or two years after first styling. Juergen would have done the same.
