quietobserver thats an outrageous tree. 'love those bald cypresses ...
we even got some of them in germany, but as a matter of course not that size

thank you Steve

matt,
the tree had been digged in 2011,
first styling in 2012,
no insults in 2013,
crown edited in 2014,
major carving had been done in late 2015

petegreg, hmm,
castle Bojnice, very nice.-
what an impressiv, kingly creature ...

 

[petegreg]

Almighty internet. I like it and your Works as well, mate. 1 more question, which picture do you consider as a view one?

 

[Arnold_K]

petegreg
well, i will basically go on with the first picture,
but next repotting will bring on a slightly chage of planting angle
in the pot.

 

[petegreg]

You might be right. I like the 3rd picture, but just from the picture. If healing of the wounds, deadwood aging / treatment goes well, show it. It'll be perfect.

 

[Arnold_K]

thank you mate, i will do that,
but it 'll take a couple of year to make it look good ...

 

[petegreg]

Not a long distance run, but marathon. This is my password. If I can't enjoy my trees, my children will have this opportunity, or their children... Our trees need patience, love, care and time to be shown in their best clothes. In think this is the philosophy of bonsai. Have a nice evening.

... just for the record ...
This is how it went on with the linden_clump,
before the winter styling-session .
The tree over all shorter, more compact and more designing options.
The moss was stolen by mean blackbirds!
It will be replaced after the carving and styling is done ...

Wow, it's really coming along nicely, very cool indeed!
What's the current height of this tree?

Thanks for sharing the progress photos.

Ben

 

[Giga]

Very excellent

 

[Arnold_K]

Thanks mates, I appreciate your comments ...
@BigBen
The height? Half a meter, 19,6 inches ...

 

[BigBen]

VERY cool!!!
Thank you for the reply.

 

[Arnold_K]

The hollow is beginning to weather in nicely, kind of like nature did it
Great little linden, i have a couple of these.

 

[Arnold_K]

And, as always, just for the record an update of the linden_clump.
Repotted this spring, so from now on no major works untill late summer.
Just Clip and grow. There will be a carving session in autumn to make the
trunc-relicts more integrated in the overall-design.






And the original stump from 2013/14

 

[Oleg]

Well Done!

 

[Wilson]
