BEND ME TWIST ME
THE JOURNEY OF 200 DESERT ASH
14/07/07
3 IN 1
Ok the leaves have fallen off and off I go as well, firstly by unwrapping the raffia carefully not to disturb where the trunks have begun to fuse. The fuse is still delicate at this stage and won’t take much to pull apart. The raffia had cut in some places but nothing that won’t heel itself and add character later. Realistically there won’t be too much sign of it in a couple of years. Again to remind you that we are talking about a young tree with very vigorous growth habits.
These photos show new ties on the tree only where needed and a new wrap of wire with which I have given the top half a twist and a bend continuing the circular line. I am fortunate to have a good new shoot in a perfect exit point. The direction of exit follows the existing trunkline to a tee. This shoot will become the new leader at some point and everything above it is only there for sacrifice purpose’s. We are now getting to the root of it all.
Will have to take a rain check for now.
Cya soon
