Erica arborea
After wiring and forming this Erica last year I let it grow unchecked for the season.
Today was the time to prune and re-wire.
The huge trunk and marvelous deadwood show that this Erica is several hundred years old.
It will take years to define this tree but the first step is taken and the potential of this tree is enormous.
Next Autumn I will repot it in a ceramic pot that leaves the details free to be seen.
50 cm trunk base by 70 cm height.
