Imperial Masterpiece
Hi folks
Im not sure what type apple, but it isnt crab....was planted in the allottment as a sapling 15-20 years ago. ive been eyeing it up for a while and had a good look at the base today. ive always admired the Nigel saunders apple, im sure some of you have seen it on youtube...if i could have something like that in a few years ill be a happy man
i wish i'd have chopped it earlier in the season though, but the deed is done now! ive scattered some chicken feed and miracle grow over the surface area around the stump, so we'll see how it responds

i think it has a lot going for it as long as it survives, the plan is to dig it up in spring and get it into a training pot, depending how it reacts, i may hold off digging it up until the season after next and clip and grow it in the ground...a future carving project, the tree has a powerful base and good taper with some well placed low branches..
some inspiration
