Story of the Tree

In 1985 I began caring for these trees, which my father-in-law had trained as two separate forest plantings. In the early 1990s I decided to bring them together into a single, larger forest, removing some trees in the process. Over the years I've continued trying different arrangements.

My goal going forward is to coax the apex of each tree to lean toward the right — a shared direction, a common flow through the planting.
