share your deciduous winter silhouettes

[Deleted member 21616]

following the 2018 Fall Colours thread (https://www.bonsainut.com/threads/fall-colours.35353/), i thought it might be interesting to have a winter silhouette thread!

i specified deciduous because these have the most obvious change from summer to fall to winter, but please feel free to post any tree you please

i'll go first - these two maples are located in the front yards of two facing-neighbors on my street. The two trees form a tunnel for the passing cars as they battle over the top of the street

I'll go dig around tomorrow and see if I can find some more. Here's a spirea nipponica I've been working on for 4 years from garden center material. The ramifications get crazy every year. It will be drastically thinned out this coming spring. Needs a new pot now too.

I only have redneck silhouettes for now. I will try to get up to the greenhouse to take some better shots!

Spooky Elm, left to grow all season to power a ground layer to shorten it a little and to remove a little inverse taper near soil level:

Post Layer/ post cutback - next season will hopefully see it back to a higher state of ramification

His full face is only revealed when you look a little around the trunk

I hate to be the one to tell you this, but you planted this upside down. Turn that puppy over before the roots dry out!
