6008 - Wednesday pre-Thursday tree stuff


Somebody asked on here if a tree grew like that or if it was trimmed. Well the answer is "cloud pruning". Here's an article about the process. And at the end of the article, there is a book you can buy.

What an interesting effect. I suspect it shows to its best in bigger gardens though.

I don't prune so I won't be buying that book, but it's nice to know the term "cloud pruning" and be able to inform others when they see trees or shrubs done this way.

Cloudia said...

Oh I got to check this out!

I learn something new every day! I always thought pruning was an organic cure for constipation.

Shaw Kenawe said...

Never knew about this. Very creative!

Bilbo's organic cures for the constipated curmudgeon!

Sue - Bigger gardens with gardeners who are more talented than me.

River - It would be hard to call what I do pruning. Wacking and hacking would be more descriptive.

Cloudia - Don't let one of those cloud pruners get too close to YOU!

Bill - It is for most people except republicans. Hence the term, full of s**t.

Shaw - Creative and a LOT of work. I imagine those pictures were taken RIGHT after they were trimmed.

John - You callin' Bill a curmudgeon?! Say it ain't so!

Uggh! I hate pruning bushes.

Lady - So if someone cloud pruning challenged you, it might take a while to complete?
