I have had to wire this one again. To close the gap created by the lose of the back branch and the removal of the initial wire, I have wired again, trying to compress over the next couple of months.

Growth over the past 3 months has been very slow. I suspect the wire may need to stay on past the finish date.

Regards,

Peter

Final Photos,

This has been a difficult subject due to the brittleness of the branches.In the future I am hoping to change the top part by either bending the main trunk or cutting back to a new leader and starting again.

I have also noticed it has, what looks like a couple of flowers developing at rear of the tree.

Regards,

Peter
