[Category 2] Callitris glaucophylla, 1 lunch training
Posted: May 30th, 2011, 6:53 pm
From a specimen collected locally mid last year and kept in a 10L pot, in a corner, perhaps 3-4 years old.
This tree was originally growing upright like an ordinary unmolested White Cypress with no branches until 8 inches up the trunk, it was bent over until the trunk snapped and again until a nice windswept angle was achieved. Most of the upper tree was cut. This is my first time using this species and my first windswept styling. I know it's a brutal, rushed job but I found out about the competition too late to have a real entry and I just wanted to participate
