Gerard, that is a most thought provoking tree and pot. I hope you'll bring it along to the next bnw meeting. Would love to see it up close. Cheers Shane.

Hi Gerard, I like where you have taken this tree over the last few years. Huge improvement :tu:

Cheers,

Thanks Mojo, since I have started with copper wire I have been a bit more aggressive when trying to move branches, a few bar branches have been removed and the structure simplified. With such an old tree I must remain patient.
