CORNUS MAS "VESNA"

For some time top right side was way too strong and outgrowing somehow ideal profile of the crown. I should have addressed it earlier but better now than never. So, some parts of the structure in that section were heavily pruned back in late summer. The last picture is from autumn 2021 for comparison. Flower buds are ready to produce hundreds of flowers next spring.

The tree enjoying cold weather and the foliage is as green as it gets. Recently I took some collected moss and stuffed spaces between exposed surface roots. I kinda like its appearance right now. Looking at the tree from my window every morning from distance and I like how it looks. But blackbirds will come and do justice to the moss sooner or later.

The tree was repotted a few days ago. According to plan, it was potted much deeper then it was previously. It was possible only after removal of few original massive roots from under the base and quite drastically crushing large stone embedded in the roots. Rock is visible from the top between the roots. Part of this rock is now visible in the pot as a souvenir. The tree responded quite well so I think it will be OK. Now it has a combination of emerging leaves and fading flowers.

All leaves down now. Countless flower buds ready for early spring. Seem like by far the biggest amount of flowers could be expected. Could potentially look nice on some early spring/late winter exhibition?
