Carpinus betulus "The Yossarian"

Spring cleaning and some editing of the top of the crown was done in recent days. Foliage is starting to emerge, I hope with spring happier days are coming.

Carpinus betulus "Gemini" with fresh foliage

The tree responded well after repotting it tree is pushing a lot of growth. A few weeks from now it must be heavily thinned, especially at the top of the now dominant tree. Since a few weeks I'm using new editing program for photos called Zoner Photo Studio and I'm starting to be familiar with it. It gives me much more options to edit pictures than previously used (free) Picasa. I will write more about it later.

Horizontal root at the front sticking to the right will go soon. I was still thinking about somehow incorporating it into the design but it seems obvious it has no future.

I tried to use Zoner editing tools and did a quick virtual where I'm heading in next decade or so.

Cornus mas "Attila" 2012 -2020

I was thinking about a different kind of post today. Though of posting April picture of this Dogwood from its collection from wild. Problem was there was Aprils I was not taking pictures, and there were years I barely took any. Anyway, they are all as close to April shoot as possible. 2012 - 2020 from same angle. BTW collected back in 2012 with a big bunch of great bonsai guys in Hungary hence the name.
