First, I removed large, straight branches that lacked taper and would
not be useful for the design. The cuts were then carved and allowed to
remain their natural color. The main problem was to create a canopy that
would give a natural tropical look to the tree. I decided to leave three
trunks to allow the canopy to fill in faster and to provide a more original
composition. Figures 5 to 9.
It was important to remove a large portion of the branch where the
mistletoe once lived in order to create a branch that would add depth
and taper to the main trunk. Figure 10.
