Dawn Redwood - Formal upright

Howdy, thought I'd share a Dawn redwood that started out from nursery stock 4 seasons ago.

This first picture is the year after re-potting from the giant nursery stock barrel and styled.



The 2nd pic is as it is now. 3rd repot since I've had it, twice with this Jiri Svacina pot and this time managed to lower the root mass. The design is starting to fill out and I'm working on the ramification but soon some negative space will need to be created as well as eliminating some structural flaws.



Cheers!

I really love this tree! I've never seen redwoods in person, but as I understand it, they are a coastal species? It makes sense to angle the branches upwards like this, as they wouldn't be weighted down from snow like the things I see around where I live. Very cool tree. I can't wait to see it progress!
