Big fat Prunus mahaleb...2011 update

Much more about the tree here: http://sandevbonsai.blogspot.com/2011/08/fat-prunus-mahaleb2011-update.html

Hello Sebastijan,

I would love to see this tree without leaves.

Beautiful tree.

tree is nice, a plain background for the pics would be good - we know what you look like already !

Yes, it is a bit funny....but, I always want to show how big or how small the tree is...and my wife is not cooperative...she doesn't want to bother with me taking photos of her and a tree...so I have to be there.

Regarding background...you are so right, BUT, I'm so lazy to bring that heavy background from the attic...so I used it maybe once or twice unfortunately. I'll try to use it more often in future, thanks for pointing

Very nice tree.

On the photo, it looks like a twin-trunk with a thin branch on the right, but in "real life", this impression should go i guess.

But maybe shortening the dead wood a bit wouldn't harm...

Well, to establish scale, now you have to tell us how big YOU are. Otherwise we know as much as we would without you in the picture: not a lot.

It's really simple, Sebastijan. Use tape measure extended horizontally or vertically beside the tree / pot.

.... "funny" first post mark.mark from Europe....

Very true, Sebastijan may be a dwarf! We all know Sebastijan likes to see himself in pictures, but look on the bright side - it could be ME instead!!

Not that he's a dwarf. It's just that perspective can be somewhat misleading.
