MJL, Stimson and Keels - Thanks guys, finally getting it into a proper pot really pushed it that extra step forward. I'll make an effort to update more often from now on.

So much for updating this thread more often... it would seem I'm on a 2 year cycle :palm: Anyway these are a few photos taken today, it's about 2 weeks after getting a pretty big haircut and hasn't skipped a beat. I tend to work on the tree little bits a time but far more often instead of doing a single big session every few months which is probably why I don't notice the time, there aren't significant points of change it's just a gradual process. In saying that and looking back at the previous photos it has a much more mature look to the canopy now which has been the main focus and it's put a fair bit of thickness on surprisingly. It definitely loves the extra water and has been powering away since the misting sprinklers have been installed.
