Another "post trim" shot - I keep forgetting to take "before" shots! (Visualise a green Cousin Itt) I'm still getting the branches shorter. I've now got new "leaders" on the main branches and will be able to cut some of the older, non-tapered branches next year. The tree does bud back, if extremely reluctantly.thoglette wrote:A few months later, post trim.
It's an interesting contrast to this time last year: not a huge change structurally but I'm getting happier with the lines. The scars are starting to grow over and the branches are getting a little more organised. The lower left branch has thickened up nicely but I'll keep leaving extra growth there to keep building it up.
