Hermano y hermana Picea abies yamadori out of 2009

This is a yamadori out of 2009. It has been time in September now to style and cut back the vital growth and wire all branches. It is a station in between . My aim is to create a more lighter tree wich looks more mature than it looks now. Therefore I will style more negative space between the branches. For me the cutting back was a very hard way to go ... but it has to be done. The Picea is vital and I hope it will sprout back in next spring while more light will catch the branches ...


This was the tree after 3 years of free growing , vital with many new buds but to dense for a propper rebudding.

 I did the deadwood part by making jins ... this was the first approach ...but simply too dense

The top has been too spiky so I jined it to make the crown more even ...

In zhis shape it will go in winter and I hope next spring it will sproud and rebud enough to make more negativ spaces in future. I think it will more mature than ...

This is how it looks now ...

A fat Pinus sylvestris

This Pinus is out of a sump aerea about 2 years ago. Now I planted it into a pot to get a plantingangle. It is not already wired ... I think I'll wait another year an feed like hell before ...
