Changes II
I’m moving right along and changing the style of some of the trees in my collection. This buttonwood was purchased from Mary Madison 2 years ago. Betsy had affectionately named it “The Bird nest” because the trunk went round and round like a bird nest. It has a nice nebari but I could figure what to do with it.
