This is the developement of a European Spruce (Picea abies). I found this tree 2004 in the high mountains of the Alps. I kept the left trunk as a shari and tried to get the dead trunk intergrated into the overall design.

I really like this tree. Can you tell me more about how the dead left side separated?
In the first photo from 2006 the dead trunk is hidden behind the main trunk, so it is just a matter of perspective..

Ive viewed this one on FB many times. The deadwood work has aged well and is really good, because in reality it doesnt look like there was a second trunk there, it looks like one main trunk that became split, over time. Think thats what the poster above was getting at.
Great tree!

That’s exactly what I thought. Very beautiful tree. The density of the foliage is really striking too. Old collected spruces in the Japanese books tend to have dense rounded green tops and this reminds me a bit of those.
