Fagus Sylvatica No. 1

I´d like to show you the progress of my first beech, bought from Juerg Rufer in spring time 2007.

This image shows the tree right after the first cut-back in spring 2007:




2008 was a bad year because the tree lost almost all of his leaves due to a sunburn. I was so unhappy that I couldn´t take any photo at all :(
