Hello,

This Yamadori Pistachio from Spain came into my garden since 2011.
The last 3 years i only observed the tree and let it grow, to find out how this species grows best in our Belgium climate.

Picture of 2011



So after 3 years the branches and foliage was gronw out to much(unfortunatly i don't have a before picture of 2014 in it's wild haircut)
It was time to cut it back and shape the tree.
2 unnecessary branches have been cut, they were to big and didn't fit in the design.






Endresult at that time...





A few weeks later the tree full in leaf...







In the spring of this year, I repotted it in it's new pot a collectors-item of the passed away Andreas Van Kerckhove.
It suits the movement and colours of the tree.

You have too many nice trees Yannick!

Also, you are killing us all with them!!! They are a sight of beauty...

Isn't that the one that is on the same photo as the Juniper? I was hoping for a full picture. I have a Larch I want to shape in a similar way - not the same, but with a sharp bend like this one; I want to bring the top down and get it closer to the trunk.

Your photo proves that that is not a bad idea, the result can be beautiful.
I like the pot very much (or actually: the combination of pot and tree).

Please continue to post inspiring pictures!
