My my...

What pretty bones!
Thank ya kindly. Kind of crazy...as I look back.

I think this gives a bit of understanding of size. FB_IMG_1691880635975.jpg

Tornado warning...so I got to lug the thing well watered into the greenhouse. Furthest area is the area this sits. Not going to lie...it's a butt kicker. 🤣

Very pretty indeed! I have enjoyed this thread showing how you saved a memorial tree and made it into something even more beautiful.
Awwww thank you. Had it not been for the brief time in the hobby. [Less than a year] I never would have fantomed trying to save it.

Flew by the seat of my pants. But it turned out to be a sweet lemonade.

Here is video of it today. I went a bit different with lighting. As the grow lights today in the greenhouse as I went to move them out. Made the trees silhouette show through the foliage. And I was taken by that image.

Won't lie...it's been a long while...since I've studied the Ryusen dormant with a calm mind... covid was ab avalanche...aside from my becoming sick. That said...humbly surprised by the winter silhouette.

Winds and rain took most the foliage. I decided to just remove what little was left. 20231028_164159.jpg

Wow! It’s looking great. It’s really unique. Love this tree!
Thanks... I tried to keep with the characteristic...yet...taming it. I am...quite please with where it's at. Actually...it made me stop in my shoes when I went around the house and seen the leaves almost all blown off. I hadn't expected...it to look this good. Truly...took me back.

Because...I truly love a tree heading into winter silhouette...sharing. The winds and the rain...beat the Ryusen. Pile of leaves around it and on the surface of its pot. Yet I still see...beauty. I love the end of fall on our trees.
