Very nice its coming on well. I would be tempted to remove the first branch or try to get a little more shape into it my eyes drawn to it.

Is that lowest dropped branch on the right, being grown out as a sacrifice branch for this tree or something?

peter thanks for the vert but to me now with out that look unbalanced and the foliage looks like it belongs to a cascading tree
heres the drawing of the tree when the plan was set forth and maybe this will help see why the branch is needed

Hello Andre..Very nice yew. I see what you mean about keeping the branch as is. Ironically enough, I am not sure that the branch is a problem. I think that when the apex is lowered and the first pad on the left extends, that branch fits quite nicely. A well balanced tree. Here is a virt. Is this what you are thinking for a final plan?

Hi,
thats a nice yew tree,
the drawing looks the best option for the material but the main branch needs constant work to move in the right direction. letting it 'rest' is letting it creep upwards and it undoing the previous work. It will be quite tricky to get it down in a convincing way as the dead wood runs underneath so i think a wedge of dead wood needs removing near the trunk and a torniquet applied to bring the branch down properly (this will close the gap made from the wedge). the key for me is getting the entire branch convincing rather than concentrating on getting the tip of the branch into the right place

just wiring the end or adding a guy wire will leave the branch coming out of the trunk parallel to the soil then drop into a curving slope - this always looks artificial. I think getting the tree planted off center will be very important too, at the moment it is not helping with the visual balance so harder root reduction on one side. final task is to hide the very thin section that supports the crown and bingo ! a lovely tree.

cheers Marcus

marcus thanks for the complement and when i say rest i mean not moving around not taking it on any road trips just letting it recoup but that does still mean i will be staying on the foliage cause yes leaving that alone would undo some of the work i have already done
