As I was walking by my Ryusen Japanese maple the crown caught my eye. So I trimmed it, created a future new crown and wired several branches, without cracking any with the copper wire.
when I finished shaping the tree I needed to make a taller stand for it. This is only beginning the second year of training.RYUSEN BEFORE.JPG

Crab apple getting ready to flower. I'll post a better picture in a few days once the flowers open.

A Wisteria seedling of mine, grown from seed, starting its 3rd year. I hope it one day gets the kind of thickness of the Wisteria posted here a page or 2 ago.

(tips for thickness, basic/obvious or not, appreciated!)

Beni Maiko, early days, very lovely and red, great show in the sun (I can turn around in my chair right now to see it in the garden, sun kissed).

A Wych Elm, i am looking forward to trying some ramification techniques on this. Theres not much branching left to grow or move with it, just want to help it thrive and ramify further.
