Very nice tree, thanks for sharing.
An important lesson here for beginners: Let the tree grow unimpeded for a period of time so it get the chance to strengthened it's vigor and branchces. it's so hard for beginners to just leave a tree alone for months. They just can't help trimming it all the time. :roll:

Your pictorial biography of the bouganvillea is splendid, it gives a wonderful insight into the development of the structure and the eventual full glory. Well done. Great post.
