Another Taxus-project. A Taxus baccata freshly taken from out of the field.
In 2016 I "twisted" the thin trunc with wire.
I wanted to provoke a curled, uneven look of the trunc.
Now the yew is sheduled to establish within the traing-pot for abut two years.
A first, humble designing of the branches will we done in autumn this year.

Ehm ..., by the way, the third pictures shows a MC (Music Casette) as a scale.
(This was a nagnetic data storage medium people used a very long time ago to record music on ...)
Some of you will remenber ... ;-)

Cool!
Did you leave the wire in the tree?

@just.wing.it
Thank you for cool.
And Yes, I did leave the wire "growing in" ...

Looks like some good growth for 3 years.

Nice little starter!
I remember living up in the Rockies, no electricity so we had to use our pencils to rewind!

 

[Gustavo Martins]

I had Walkman that recognised the start of each music when rewinding if we left a 3 s interval between musics when recording. That was some technology those days.

Nice tree although at the moment I find the truncation caused by the wire biting in an ugly artifact. It proved different in the future though

Just kidding! I lived the cassette era.

Update of the little, curly Taxus baccata.
This photo is of January 2016. Diameter of the "trunc" roughly 0,34 in .
Not even the diameter of a regular pencil.



The Yew had been into field-culture for three years.
Pictures of the tree as of today ...

Really? I ran computer games from them!

Funky Yew!

 

[Arnold_K]

Still under structural construction. Two branches less, two tiny jins more ...
Just for the record ...

Someone is having all the fun!
