Pyrus communis_Shohin starter

This small pear is a result of a successful air layer completed in 2019.




The vitality of the plant was excellent so I have decided to speed up a little bit and to select structural branches and to carve a section of the trunk to get there some taper.   From now on it is again on the tree to do its part...

Current front.  Due to the size restriction there is no chance to aim at natural looking pear tree. I mean a tall tree with relatively narrow crown.  At least that is the way pears look like in this country.


The taper of the trunk seems to be OK.  Well,  on the cost of removal of a bit of flesh to be fair...


Carved section ( current back ).   I hate to say that as my attempt is always to make 360° trees.


AGE!

Natural jin

The height at the moment is just about 10 cm - up to the cut on the main trunk.  So there is still enough space to fill...
