Scots Pine Prep

This is one of the pines collected from a bog two years ago. It has recovered well but now’s the time to remove a few branches that won’t be needed in any final design. I also needed to chase back the foliage so that the tree back buds into more suitable areas over the next few years. Once I have this I can then start to think about styling the tree.

This was the tree being collected

and now before cut back.

A straight bit here needs to be removed.

And after cutting back

Floodgates in the Wind

I had my first walk in 8 weeks on Sunday. I badly sprained my ankle back in January and I’ve not been able to enjoy my usual walks. I decided to give it a go on Sunday and picked the Floodgates in my home town along the edge of Strangford Lough. It was a touch windy but a nice day. I think I over did it with my ankle but I’m glad I went. Note the blackthorn in full flower!
