A cure for an acheing back
I posted the collection of some paperbarks ( Melaleuca rhaphiophylla ) in the collecting forum.
Now I am posting the cure this is the first serious styling attempts. Still a long way to go. I am trying to maintain the Aussie look!!!!. You will note that they do shoot back on old wood readily. Hope you enjoy. My back still aches I think it is old age. All three trees came from one you will also notice the shoots on old wood. 37- 38 the 5% change in planting angle I think is a better front. 40- 41 front and back.

opinions....
Tree one I think has a lot of potential, but that big bend does not lend it self to an australia paperbark style ... it needs a lot more foliage but that will come in time.
Tree two I thin is the better of the three with a unique style... I really like this one. The left branch I think needs to be moved a little to the right and the 1st branch pointed to the middle needs to be relocated to the left more and the 1st branch on the left on the main trunk need to be pointed back a little as this intrudes into the design. The right hand 1st branch need s to be grown on and angled down more. Love the nebari and shari.. these are great features. Tree 3...Not fore me but if you put a little more branching on it you could have a nice tree in it... Literati does not suit this type of plant if you are after a true Aussie native style....just my experience but if you can show me otherwise I would be grateful JBhayman |

The first tree's apex is too tall. I'd shorten it by half. That would give the lower trunk more emphasis.
I've had this issue with alot of the material I've collected. I have tended to leave the extension leaders too long for too long. In the last few years, I've found myself siginficantly reducing their height, some by as much as two thirds. I did this after my bonsai nursery friends noted that the crown on my collected live oak was too leggy. I hadn't noticed it, as I saw the tree every day and well, too often we don't see things that need to be done. I wound up pruning the top of that tree back pretty extensively. Did wonders for the tree and I couldn't believe I hadn't seen the problem (if that's what it was) before. |
