I'd like to see you add about 10 years growth for taper, before your next pic please ;) looking good.

Seriously though, if that is how you are going to display them, I feel they are too close together for their size, but still look forward to seeing this thread each update. :tu:

Looking nice ..... How tall is the tallest? I'm guessing way over 1 metre.

It's looking really good considering the short time you have been developing it.
Next potting season you might be looking for a large pot!
