... and this is the end result.
Its very much a learning piece for me.
Learning to put the heavy wire onbefore planting... (knew that already really, but now I've fell in the trap it won't happen again).
Learning how much of the roots can be chopped off on a J procumbens nana... (50%?)
Learning how much bending a J. p. nana branch can take... (one crack?)
Learning that you can wedge the roots in, but how the heck do you get the soil in there too... ?
Learning how soon after such drastic treatment the tree will show signs of recovery... (or death)
Anyway, I'm sort-of quite pleased with the result. Tested out my new camera on it too. That blue woodgrain background is really JPEG intensive, had to use every trick there is to squeeze into to 75K size.
Let me know what you all think. Be frank.
Regards,
TB/Chris.
