April 1998
This tree was collected from the New Forest in 1996, and
is affectionately known to me as the 'Sows Ear'.
I did not have a lot of hope for this tree untill I took it to Colin Lewis
for a workshop. |

At the workshop.
After some major surgery the tree begins to reveal it's
soul. |

Voila!
A silk purse! |

August 1999
It has put on a lot of growth over the summer.
Next year comes the challenge of ramification and needle reduction.. |
