Taxus cuspidata - new styling

Hi Pavel,

Always look forward to your trees and you haven't disappointed me even ONCE... Excellent work and an equally excellent tree. What appealed to me most was that the live vein is barely visible and this adds a lot of mysticism to the tree... making one wonder where the branches are coming from. The other thing I liked about this tree is that even though the dead wood is very nice it could have been overbearing, but the way you have covered parts of the trunk line with foliage pads and plan to do so even more adds to the appeal of this tree. Great work again....

Hi Ravi

Thank you very much for your nice compliment and nice and interesing coment.
I appreciate it.
Pavel

Looking great Pavel. My only thought would be to tweak the balance ever so slightly

Very delicate Pavel. Great deadwood work!

Morten

Hi Pavel.

The tree is looking great, the carving work on the trunk improved the tree tremendously.
These are the touches which transform the tree from good to great.

I agree very much. The 3D effect to the deadwood was a good move.

Can it be potted a bit deeper to get some soil up to the right hand nebari?

Hi Justin, Morten, Roland and Rob

Thank you very much for yours very nice replies and compliments.


Modifications to the tree will be. Especially during the next planting in the coming years. For now, the tree is established, a little higher. Tilt writes Justin probably not. When a tree grows more on the right side, I think it will be okay.

Hi Rob, yes, I agree, the substrate will be adjusted.

Yes,like it

Hi Pavel,
Very nice job styling!

Another beautiful tree Pavel, congratulations for the great work. One question: can you improve this?



Regards, Daniel

Hi Pavel, a nice re-styling - I think with a tree like this less is more i.e. less foliage that is - reflects an ancient tree.
Daniel’s post asked if you could improve a section of the right side of the root base …..but I see a live vein going to the first branch on the right so perhaps any work here would have to be delicate.
Cheers

I have come to expect that anything you post will not be a stick in a horse turd, but this tree is really a nice piece of work and would be a show stopper almost anywhere it was displayed. Wonderful piece of work and artistic composition.

Hi Pavel,
Really inspiring work and a great transformation in just 4yrs.
I came accross this reply to Tony and sort of got me intrigued.

So I did a search and nothing. I can find Wuxal as a foliar feed but Hycol with collagen all I can find is anti ageing products.
Can you explain in a little more detail ( hopefully in an Advanced Technique thread ) the last 3 products and your fertilizing regime. Being on the other side of the world maybe I missed something.

Hi all friends
Thank you very much for yours very nice coments and compliments. I apreciate that.

Hi Daniel
Photo distorted. Bottom right is part of the dead wood. The restyling was removed around the wood substrate in order to perform cleanup. It can be seen in the photo from last year. After racking substrate think everything is fine.

Hi Nick
I sent a PM.

Hi Sunip
I think that there is nothing secret about it.

I think it is not important the product name. Wuxal is maybe quite common throughout Europe. It's spring fertilizer to start the sheet into watering. Biogold submitted by Tokyo, Japan e-shop. Hycol can be replaced as fertilizers containing humic acids. Since the spring of last year, I use a great product. It's called Altron stymul containing nano silver. It active over two hours and the results are great for all plants. Further use of any organic granules.

Greetings Pavel

Pavel,

Wonderful work on deadwood and branch styling! Very inspirational work! Thanks!
