Extremely well done Ash, for any one interested, as you can imagine, the photos don't do it justice, this tree is gorgeous up close.

Time for a bit of sturdy copper wire to gently bring the lower branches down again (and again [and again each year!]).

I hear you.... I have a couple of figs that I've wired branches down and then a couple of months after removing the wire look at them and realise they have come back up again. :shock:

Very nice tree though.
