Prunus spinosa_Curling_Autumn colours
Blackthorns do not produce great autumn colours. At least in my garden...
But it seems this autumn could be a bit special. For sure for this small one.
The blackthorn has been allowed to grow without any restriction this year - just to support the air layer. I will keep the branches as they are till there are any working leaves. Then I will shorten them a bit somewhere around the beginning of Nov, I guess.
Ahh, nearly forgot about the long branch on the right side. It was there just to help to improve the reverse taper. The job has been done ( nearly ) but I feel like keeping it in place and adjust the rest of the tree accordingly.
Height: 27 cm from the rim of the pot (as expected after the trimming )
Pot: Training
