Prunus spinosa_Midway

The picture below has been taken in 2018.  Happy days...

On this picture you can see the thread graft - on the left side of the trunk.   I was quite optimistic that it is on a good way to make it and that it can be separated  later that year. 


 Reality?

You can see the remains of it on the picture taken in early October 2019.   Bad luck or doing something badly?

As you can see I have left this year growth untouched.  Till the early November to be precise...
Then a short visit in the barber shop and another meeting with my Dremel.   But that was just a fine tuning. No dramatic change.


November 2019
I have left the low branch on the right side in place.  Not sure if I will keep it in the future design. 
Height: close to 50 cm

    To mŕtve drevo vyzerá príliš umelo a symetricky, ešte by si sa s tým mohol pohrať.

      Ach, jo. A já byl na tuhle sekci tak pyšnej...:(((((((((
      Zlomils mi srdce.

      Tady žádné zásadní změny neplánuju.

      To ma mrzí :(
      Zdá sa mi že ideš proti prirodzenému smeru dreva hore dole ako ti prišlo, aj vľavo a vpravo. To na mna dosť neprirodzene pôsobí. AJ tá pozdĺžna puklina to celé ešte zvýrazňuje.
      Ale keď sa to tebe páči a robí ti radosť, nemám nič proti :)

    Mimo sane, věcná diskuze nás posunuje vpřed. Vážím si toho. Jen houšť!!!

    Směr dutiny je v souladu se směrem růstu dřevních vláken. Nad dutinou je vidět prasklina-puklina, která tento směr sleduje. ( Aktuálně je ale hmota kolen pukliny odebraná a zapojená do celkové kompozice ). Celou tuhle sekci, myslím kambium, stromek "pustil". Odumřelou kůru jsem oloupal a popad dremelku.

    Stejný pohyb tj šroubovici jsem se pokusil naznačit i u té suché větve. Ale tam jsem opravdu ujel a budu to muset předělat. Zatím mě ale nic kloudného nenapadá.

  Stupid or Greedy?   Well, why not both... For a good number of years I am planning to reduce the number of my trees.   And yes, some of them have gone, just to be fair with me.   Few of them left for free to my brothers in arms - bonsai enthusiasts and some of them via the European bonsai auction to bargain hunters. Sounds good, doesn't it? But at the same time I have started few projects ( seedlings cutting_Pinus nigra, Taxus cuspidata and Pinus parviflora_Zuisho cuttings, bought some interesting varieties of satsuki...   So at the end there is more leaves/needles than before.   And  NOT enough of that - I was about to give away a little mahaleb that was a honorable member of the Downsize club.  On the D day I have taken it from the shelf with the plan to let it go to some new place with more attentive hands.    I know this is the moment I should close my eyes and to armour my heart...  What do you think?...

Prunus mahaleb_Zorro

 The first few days of the new year are a bit lazy. So why not to take the advantage of it and share some other trees? The mahaleb Zorro is one of my largest trees.  Well, better to say heaviest ones.  It is not very large, in fact it is just about 50 cm in height and about 70 cm in width.  But the trunk is quite massive and the pot needs to be quite large to accomodate the long surface root.   The shape  is not very typical for deciduous tree but I do like it that way.  And that counts...   Still long way to go...   The "new part" clashes with the old one - just looking like a baby's arse.  Not to mention  a better taper and finer ramification... Hope to find some time later on to repot it and while there to change the planting angle. The left side is right now planted too deep. Height: 50 cm Width:  70 cm Pot: China
