A couple of Beeches (Fagus syl.)

Heya!

Here's a couple of Beeches I've been working with. The first one I dug last spring and the other one was dug today. Ideas and styling advice is welcome!

Cut back hard and carve.

I guess if you found them near the parent tree, you could call them "Sons of Beeches"

Hi Rob!

Yup, the first one is definetly up for carving but I thought I'd wait a couple of seasons (or more). Here's a virt I did at scanbonsai.com.



The other one I'm not sure will be subject for carving. I think the taper will be good enough for a believable upright slender tree?

The problem with beeches is that they sprout a lot of branches, but they never sprout a branch where you want it!

The tree may dictate what you do with it in the end, not your wishes. <g>
