Large Green Island

A Random User · Jun 4, 2013

This is green island that got hit really hard 3 years ago with a freeze and I lost
the whole top of the tree... At the time I had the trunk slanted, I have since
changed the angle of it, and have done quite a bit of wiring and rebuilding...
It is my sigmond the seamonster tree... and I love it !!! Gotta say it is a very
strange styling, but really appeals to me. It's a big monolith.

As one can see from the last pic... it has a very large branch that forms
the upper trunk, that needs to be addressed, perhaps even be greatly reduced ???
But, that tomorrows problem !!!

Have you thought about cutting some of the top branching to graft down low? I saw a youtube video where Erik Wigert peg grafted a couple branches on a huge green island.

Found the video:

Thanks for the reply... and I appreciate the question.
I actually have a really bizarre kinda plan for this tree...

There is a tree at Epcot (Disney World), in the Chinese pavilion that
has to be one of my favorite all time trees. Every time I see it I just
fall in love with it all over again !!! I was just there again recently
because of my tree being on displayed, and got inspired all over again.

The next day I was working on trees when the idea came to me to try
to style this tree in a similar approach.
Re: Inspirational Trees

The tree at Epcot is actually a Mulberry, and unfortunately is really hard
to get a good photo of... Here is a decent one I found on the net, that
Ed Trout took.
