Acer ginnala_why have you collected this tree?
First of all I like ACERS as a species. Loving maple syrup and the early spring and autumn colours of their buds and leaves. Second - I am looking for trees with "drama" . Creatures that survive in difficult conditions that affect their body and soul. And anyway this is my only A. ginnala in my collection.
Current height: approx 15 cm till the cut on the top primery branchTrunk
caliper (diameter ) at the ground level (DGH ): na
Collected: Central Bohemia _ an old quary at the outskirts of PraguePot: training
Styling direction:
The bottom of the tree has been raised compared to the pics above. I plan to raise it even more in the future gradually revealing more and more of the roots.
The trunk above the ground should be leaning back to the lower part of the trunk a bit more than it is now. As the wood is quite hard I should make a slit in the bark at the area of current bend and remove some wood flesh to make the bend feasible. If I really go into that it will happen this year in April or May once the leaves are fully developed to avoid excessive bleeding.
