Description
A large 3D slate shape that resembles an antique cast iron cooking pot (old vernacular: ‘cauldron’).
The number of framework branches is large, often 8-16 pieces.
Features of standard tree:
- framework branches guided in the shape of a cast iron cauldron:
- a large number of framework branches emerge from the bottom of the trunk via double T-junctions
- framework branches grow vertically, parallel, at regular intervals, with a circular basal surface
- espalier form requires a permanent espalier construction
- fruit wood is grown quite close to the framework branch
Note: Variants with (partly) horizontally running framework branches are also possible.
