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?...
Great movement. Nice branch localization. Many options for a front of the tree. I see You have same problem with birds taking out the moss. I'm using similar solution but using fishing net. Works well so far. I see good future for this tree. well done.
ReplyDeleteBlackbirds. They have been heavily affected by the USUTU virus in 2018. Nearly disappeared in my region. Luckily, they are back. Their population is still very weak but growing.
