Hey All,
Here is my Musk maple (no relation to the palmatum family) that I have been working on for about two years. The first two pictures are early this year after repot. Third, is a virt from Will. Fourth and fifth are my rendition of Will's virt. Sorry for the shadows, I could not find the black board. When I find it I will try to repost another picture from the front.
I guy wired the first branch down pretty low (Will, this tree is pretty flexible). I also wired and bent the first branch toward the viewer. I did the same with the branch above it so it did not extend past the first branch. I still think its a little bit too heavy and the apex needs some filling out but I think is starting to come along. Any other ideas of what I can do to improve this?
All thoughts welcomed......
