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.

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
