I purchased this tree from a club member 3 years ago after he told me that it was getting to big for him. To my knowlage it is about 45years old & i am the 4th owner.
After i purchased it, I started to lower the first three branches, which have moved about 20-30 degrees, the tree is 750mm high and 250mm at the base.
Hope you all like it
