In my view as beautiful as it is, it's in need of being thinned out to let light into the interior of the tree and encourage more ramification to fine twigs. This is one of those trees that can escape care if the owner is not careful.

I often wonder how my old trees are doing, this is a chinese elm that that spent time in a grow bed before being dug up and moved on..


This English also has spent time in a grow bed and was dug up and chopped back a few weeks ago. its budding like mad now

Elms show insults the middle finger. its also been fed since it went into this pot.
i feed heavily diluted doses at every watering.

normally i rub out adventitious buds, but i went hard on the roots, so will keep everything until it builds up a head of steam.

Work-in-progress Scots pine. This should go in a more appropriate pot next spring.

Why not grow what is? What coin is that, I can't tell the scale? I think there's a lot there to style into a cute tree with lots of parts to blend into a whole, cohesive picture. A small tree in the making.

Thought I’d post some images of a newer process of mine with trees that I have long term plans for. Lately I’ve been taking pics of my trees that I’m not entirely certain of the direction, into Procreate on my iPad. I trace the general bones, outline and textures, then add what I’m envisioning for a future. Branching, canopy, carving etc. It’s been a fun practice in drawing and vision for execution. Wether I can achieve these goals remains to be seen. Here’s a few I’ve done that I’m happy about and am hopeful I can do justice to.

a smaller yatsubusa from evergreen garden works


and a large Quercus Lobata that needs some thread grafts and eventual carving.
