Prunus mahaleb_Cascade
Three years ago I ordered from Martin Asenbrenner a vessel for this cascade. The year after the container was ready. I did like the shape and colour but I thought that it is slightly oversized. Martin was kind enough to take it back and above all he promised to deliver another one next year. This time the size of the container was OK but I had a feeling that it doesn't express the emotion I have in my mind. So here we are in 2020 still using the old plastic vessel. The tree has been thinned few days before the day the pics were taken. The crown looks a bit empty as some of the strong shoots were cut off to get more light to the inner weaker shoots that are better positioned - I think. All that makes the ten-jin too dominant ( I wonder it the description ten-jin is correct while it is in fact in the lowest position of the cascading trunk ? ). The idea is to cover the straight part as much as possible while leaving the last third of it shining below the green foliage.
