Larch Restyle

This is a larch I picked up this January and I originally didn’t know how I was going to style it. It was too tall and thin and I had an idea lately of the direction I wanted to take it.

This is how the tree looked before work.

I then proceeded to trim it down to one branch, and added shari to the trunk. The trunk was pretty taperless and boring so eventually I hope this will be a good feature.

Tonight I did some wiring and I am pretty happy with the result. This tree was bothering me with the way it looked, and I’m glad I got to take it down a different path. It was fun to work with and hopefully will improve in time.
I should also add that the trunk is probably an inch longer, the picture of it is hidden by the nursery pot.

Tropicals Are In

Well the temperatures dipped low enough that I decided to bring the tropicals in for the winter. I only have a few small tropicals, but man it looks like I’m almost out of room!
