Fraxinus excelsior

This Ash was collected this spring. It's very rare to find an ash with stunted growth like this one ( at least in my area)



Here it is just after collection


I let it grow wild during the summer, except that I pruned off the terminal shoots on some branches to induce back budding (it worked)


This is how it looked last week after I weeded the pot : -) I will start carving the dead wood soon. Progress will be reported.
Next spring when I repot I will change the planted angle

The hight including new growth is about 85 cm and trunk diameter about 25-30 cm depending on how I measure it.
