Scots pine #17

Scots pine, Pinus sylvestris, collected in Norway in 2009; I got the tree in 2010; Now everthing is wired. This was definitely a challenging tree. The pot is only a training pot.

 

visit to Gerdi and Hans

Gerdi ans Hans are a nice couple who live not so far from here. Once in a while I visit them. Here are some glimpses into the garden.

New Japanese maple for sale or trade

Japanese maple, Acer palmatum, 35 cm high, the nebari is VERY wide. What is dark on this image is the part of nebari that I dug out. This tree is available.


 

second flush of foliage on maples

As one can see on the first image the hedging method encourages INNER growth. All the new growth comes fro within the crown. Often I read that the hedging method would do exactyl the contrary. Why do people think about what could be wrong instead of just looking and see what is right.
