Walnut Tree renovation

[mdvaden]

Here is a walnut tree I began working on several years ago. The photos without leaves were taken 2 hours apart from near the same spot, but a bit different angle. The image with leaves was a couple years later. Been trying to leave what I can on the house side, but it's pretty close.

 

This tree is a natural water feature.

 

The day of pruning for the image with leaves, it was raining. There is a bowl crotch in the middle of the leaders, with an open cavity. Rain flows down the stems to that bowl, and exits a small waterfall / fountain which is a decayed and hollowed wound from an old cut on the side of the trunk. Pretty cool to see flowing.

That, Sir, is a tidy job. Were the treehouse's inhabitants cursing you?

That is looking a load better now. Any chance of any pics of the water feature?

Previous owners built the treehouse thing. These were new homeowners when I started.

No shots of the water fountain from the trunk. But if it rains next time they have me out, I may try a photo or a video.
