I've posted random pictures of this crab in other threads but I wanted to start one that is for documenting it's development.
This is my oldest malus, about five years in my possession, source of several props and the first tree I executed a drastic chop on. This spring it flowered and fruited for the first time since I began working on it. If there's interest I have older pictures to show the steps taken to this point but for now I'll start with where we're at as of today.
I have two pictures. One displaying the front chosen during repotting and the other an angle I think I like much better. That just happens to be essentially the literal back of the tree.
The above.is the front I've gone with since I started working on the tree.
This is the potential new front. It definitely hides the chop a bit better and I think I like the trunk lines this presents as well as the root base. As always, I appreciate everyone's time and will be grateful for any criticism or opinions. Thank you.
