    Picture 1.
    The hawthorn, around 3 meter (10ft) tall, was collected from the forest. The trunk was very
    straight, had no branching and had little going for it other than some quite mature bark.
    The tree was planted into a shallow terracotta container and left to recover.

    Picture 2.
    One year and a half later, the trunk was cut back
    to 12 cm (4’’) and a short, hollow trunk was created.

 

Hawthorn Yamadori collected from the forest         Hawthorn after being chopped back and repotted

 

 

      Picture 3.
      The tree recovered well from chopping and the trunk could be carved out. The
      new shoots were regularly pruned back to create the branch structure. Training
      the tree took 5 years.
