That would be great, some tips are always handy.

I will get rid of all the flowers, leaves and buds this weekend. Wit the leaves should i pinch them or jsut completely remove?

G'day worthy1, you are just removing the flowers and flowerbuds, not the leaves. Normally you could do this by hand but seeing as you are trying not to bump the tree about too much and disturb the new roots just use some scissors this time.

You've got a generous offer from Arthur to have a look at your tree there, if I were you, and had the time, I would go along and watch him work on the NBPA tree aswell. I saw some pics of it up here earlier i think and it looks like a magnificent tree :D

cheers,

n.
