Except for some secrafice branches, all unnecessary branches where removed. For the rest of this year she was left alone to grow!

This was shot March 2001.
First the tree was weierd, then it was taken out of it's container.
Because of the very lose soil i used, i could allmost shake free all of the roots. There were plenty of new small roots, so i could tackle the next problem without to mutch danger! I had to saw of a very thick root on the backside of the tree, the stump was removed just to where there were small roots growing from it side. They will grow fast now because of the extra energy that will flow to them now, so that in the future the stump can be made smaller and more natural.

The root is sawed off without any problems! see that all the heavy wounds are caped to the backside off the tree, and see all the new buds around the large wound just above the stump, because of the sucker branches i left on there sap flow kept on gowing to feed them, so there was no risk to the higher parts above this large cut because everything just kept on flowing!
More to come.
