Prunus mahaleb_Small cascade
Prunus mahaleb
Current height: 8 cm
Width: 30 cm with the target 26-27 cm
Tree has been collected in 2019 with the plan to make a shohin sized cascade. Due to the damage of the some important roots during its collection, the tree has decided to quit some live veins on its trunk resulting in a massive deadwood.
Air layered in spring 2020 and separated in Sept of that year.
Spring 2021. The inclination of the tree has been moved even further to the left. That made a full cascade BUT I did not like it. It looks too long due to the separation between the trunk and the foliage mass. IN order to bring the foliage closer to the trunk, I had to bend the top of the trunk back to the right quite severely. Step by step in the course of two years we get it in more or less vertical position. And at the same time span we have used one of the lower branches to create the cascade or maybe just a semi cascade. We will see...
The current crown is still visibly separated from the main trunk. I hope to get there more foliage so it groves reasonably above the top line of the trunk. The cascading branch will be shortened a bit to make the tree look more compact.
Well, even with the smaller pot and smaller leaves the tree will probably feel a bit heavy for the shohin. Again: We will see...
