FATGUY OF THE SOUTH

Hi Friends,

Here's my new Hawthorn that I bought couple of days before.
It's been in the pot for 2 years and is well established.
Any styling ideas / comments would be much appreciated.

Regards,

Faisal

Hi Faisal,

A very interesting trunk indeed.... What are plans for this tree????

Ravi

Thanks, Ravi Ji.

No plans for now. Need to grow some more and then think of styling.
I always admired Tony's Fatguy hawthorn and will think of something on the same lines.

Regards,

Faisal (Dilli Wala)

HI Faisal,

thanks for the quick one. Shall look forward to the progression in the months/years to come. Wising you good luck with this excellent material. Besides being Dilli Wala (the one from Delhi) I am sure you are a Dil wala (one with a heart) too.... Liked the lyrical ring and couldn't resist it...

Ravi

Thanks, Ravi Ji. I will keep you posted.

Hello Faisal,
Really interesting tree, you made already some important decisions is see.
Any picture of the backside?
You British buy those things just like that at the florist on the corner??

One word - nice.

Hi Sunip,

Glad you like the tree. I will try to take some more pictures soon.
You don't good material easily. And when you do come across some nice ones, They're very expensive.
Just last night I said something to my wife and I said if we stop doing that, we could save at least £750 a year.
Before I even finished what I was saying, she goes if YOU stop spending money on those trees,
we could save at least £10,000 a year.
So, they're not THAT easy to get :-)

Cheers,

Faisal

Very nice Hawthorn you have there. The top looks a bit "awkward" but the movement is great.

Thanks, Will.

I'm sure with time and guidance from more experienced, the top can be sorted out.
I think it's the trunk thats more important.

Regds,

Very nice tree, Faisal! Perhaps something like that in 10+ years?

Are you trying to put him off Sunip? He's quite an old man as it is. Or is it a ploy to get him to sell it on?? Ok....good idea........35 years at least Faz

WOWW Dorothy,
Thank you so much for doing a fantastic virtual.
I'll be happiest even if I'm able to achieve 50% of what you've proposed.

Regards,

Faisal

Hi Faisal

Congratulations to an amazing tree, and look forward to development.

Pavel

Cpl of Years, Will and you will see it in some show :-)) (I so wish)

Hope you're keeping well.

I was thinking of Tony's fat guy who is even for a hawthorn slow (but then, everything seems to be hard up there)
However due to Dorethy's magnificent virtual, Faizal has a big dream now, when it turn out to develop in a nightmare, i am humbly willing to take over, thank you for that idea Will.
Regards, Sunip

So kind of you, Sunip

It's actually very heavy to move. and like Will said, i'm quite an old man LOL.
