Newly Styled Willow Tree
One of my yamadori finds from this winter was this lovely willow tree. At least I’m pretty sure it’s a type of willow because it is a lot harder trying to identify trees in the winter. Only time will tell if I’m correct.
It’s quite a bushy looking tree at about 2 foot tall. I’ve trimmed a few of the major branches off the bottom and also reduced the height a bit.
I’ve bought some mega 4mm wire from eBay this week so decided to give it a go on this tree as you can see. Some of the branches are slightly too big for the wire to manipulate and I’d probably do better with a bending jack.
I think it’s going to look very good come spring when it’s all leafy and I should be able to develop a good crown quickly on it.
