A friend of mine wanted to be sure to have a presence at an upcoming show at the end of the month. She is not able to do much care so this is a labor of love. The trees were in some disrepair and require multiple stages of cleanup. Day one clean up is done and I am sharing my progress.
Old redwood grown from seed. This is a before cleanup image. The moss on the trunk is rotting the bark away.This is a root of rock shimpaku Juniper before cleanup.Redwood after cleanup. I need to dry out this trunk and refine the foliage more. This is just phase one.Shimpaku root over rock after cleanup phase one. It looks so much better. I also did soil recovery on both trees to protect roots. Much of the moss had to be removed even from this tree.
