Here’s the front. Coming along very nicely. I need to do some carving on the top right third of this tree. It is a little heavy up there and looks to thick. Hopefully sometime this year I’ll get the chance.


This tree was root pruned rather hard this spring, and never slowed down. The goal was to get the tree into a very shallow pot. The reasons for this are first to make the trunk look bigger, and secondly so that I could lift the thing. The tree was wired out, and is developing very well. This summer I plan to do some carving so that the top tapers more and blends better. The photo is of the back of the tree. July 2005

Part of my philosophy is to see other people’s collections and to get their input once in a while. The first lowest branch on this tree has always bugged me. It looked out of place and was way too thin. I took the tree to a meeting last month and Mike Rogers pointed out that the branch should be removed all together so that the foliage would be more uniformed. After a quick “snip” the branch was off and instant gratification. It was an instantly better tree and has made this tree look so much better. I still need to develop a better top, but this tree is well on it’s way to be a finished tree. I was hoping to submit this tree for Epcot, but with the poor top I need one more year. June 2005
