Another 2013 collected Mtn. Hemi., after collection it went into a grow box and it settled in nicely over the last few years. Many of the lower limbs were removed prior to extraction and as I discovered while getting it ready for the big black plastic pot, there was actually two trees....initially my idea in the field was going to be a clump style.
This first photo shows the upper main trunk where it shows evidence of heavy snow damage, it appears weak but has healed nicely over many years and is very stable.
This shows the main trunk mowing away and an interesting twisted lower limb.
This is potentially close to perhaps a "front" where the main trunk moved forward and has the large base.
This next one shows the lower trunk and base, see the lower base of this secondary base is being integrated into the trees main base.
This last photo shows more bark detail and that lower limb, again the sharp bend is this limb also shows that significant forces were at play, my assumption again is snow damage as the collection areas gets snow from late October through to early may and may accumulate many meters some years 10m=30 feet.
It will stay this way to ensure it continues to thrive so I'll have the next couple of years to study this one for potential designs or seeing as though I have "too many trees, too many projects and not enough time", maybe someone else can take it on.
