Crataegus 2010

Hello Karl. First I must say that it looks like you've been ganged up on. This was not my intention and I'm sure no one elses either. My comment was only ever meant as a suggestion, as there is no right or wrong way to style any tree. I have often seen trees styled as another variety and form and who are we to say this is not the way to do it. I admire your trees and styling very much and I would hate for you to change your artistry because of a few peoples opinions. My observations were not aimed specifically at you, just the link to Mr Pappalardo, who as I mentioned, is a fantastic artist.

yup cause there is not right or wrong in art...(bonsai is a living artform)

Will and Hans, I am offended in any White or hurt because of the views of the treetops.
I wanted to bring the link only to express that you designed in Italy, the tree crowns sun.
Most of my deciduous trees have treetops without hanging branches, see tree sculptures. https://ibonsaiclub.forumotion.com/bonsai-f1/tree-sculptures-t4561.htm
Some trees I prefer personally the jaw shape. The proposal by bonsaimeister like me good for a Fagus, for the Crataegus I like rather the shape of the jaws. Thank you for the interest on my Crataegus and sorry for my bad English.

Thank you, Hans. I like this one too:

So do I Dorothy, this drawing tels a very believable and jet exciting story. Your drawing reminds me of a beautiful spot very close to were I live. Their the coast line is covered with sea wind battered Hawthorns that have to struggle for their live in soil that almost completely exist out of fine sand. I love it!!!
You are a very talented artist.
Regards,
Hans van Meer.

Amazing Dorothy.Looks like a lot of work to me. I recon Karl will be over the moon with these.

Wow...Dorothy , that's almost art, thank you very much for this great effort.
I cut the Crataegus, that is my future front. The Crataegus must now make the new branches, an update I will show.

Will & Hans I agree with you both entirely,the problem I have noticed is those who
do try to replicate deciduous trees invariably make them end up looking like shrubs
as opposed to there big brothers in the wild which have pad definition.

Nice trees Karl.

Is Hawthron n Malpighia Glabra same?

Hello Raghav. Crataegus is a part of the Rosaceaea family and grows in temperate climates.

dorothy : lovely virtuals

Hi people, I have used our bad weather and made the pictures of Crataegus in leaves.

Hi Karl,
Your Crataegus must be fantastic in autumn colors. Let's wait a bit and see.

Regards.

Karl, do you mind if I ask you about what watering system do you use? I see that ends of the pipes are dipped in frrtiliser, am I right?
Your Hawthorns look fantastic. Healthy and vigorous..

gope, I use a drip system. For the many trees the most efficient.
Thank you for your interest.

Is it GARDENA system? I can't see the dripper heads? it looks like the "spaghetti" pipes are stuck into the soil with no dripper head on them. Can you tell me please more details about this system?
