Wow, really nice tree! I like the rustic look of the pot and stand.
Great display all around.
Thanks for sharing it.

Here's a small movie to show the tree naked, and from all sides:

Very impressive architecture.

ow no for sure! You removed the branche that makes this tree unique!

I was going to point out that this dropped branch, that is originating from the inside of a curve and "breaking a rule", is the most important branch on the tree, creating a more dynamic image and emphasizing the flow of the tree. The tree is significantly better with that branch then without.... love it!

Thanks for posting this tree/pot/stand combo, it is awesome. This is what I was trying to describe in the stand build off, doing the American style. Rustic and old looking, perfect!

I didnt say the tree its better without it I just wanted to see how it looked without the branch I agree that although the branch its not orthodox growing inside the curve the tree its better with it

Haha Thanks LB, and all others! The tree has to become much more mature. Even the shape isnt the final yet, branches have to thicken and it needs much more small branches…
I hope to be closer to that in about 4-5 years… so maybe you can see the tree at the Trophy in ‘26, if i’m lucky enough to get the tree selected.
Maybe I can show him next year in Delft?

HOW long did developing that trunk take?

Wow your tree is gorgeous. Inspiring actually. Makes me want to go collect oak seedlings around my yard

 

[Wulfskaar]

It looks like a lady in a dress bowing and offering something. Then there's a tiny giant oak tree growing out of the back of her head!

Crazy tree!

HOW long did developing that trunk take?

that would take lots of centuries!
