Blue Honeysuckle # 2

To better utilize the dead top of the biggest trunk I made a cavity where one of the upper shoots would fit in

I placed the shoot in the cavity and wrapped self adhesive tape around it. Hopefully the shoot will stay where it is by it self when the diameter has increased. The dead wood on this species is quite hard and durable so it will last for a long time especially if I treat it to prevent rot.


I also wired and shaped the branches. The only thing that matters at this stage is to get the right angle from the trunk and some movement in the first few centimeters. The branches will be cut back hard after leaf fall this autumn.
