Hi guys.....I decided to take a few photos of my Serissa so I could get some feedback. I have been tempted to put it straight back into the ground to thicken the trunk but have not made such a decision as yet.
I plan is the round off the top and possible have the bottom edges of the foliage droop down a little more. Winter has thinned out the foliage quite a bit. Would you progress in a different way to get more out of the tree? (Possibly a full on broom style) Also I have superimposed (as best as I could) the pot I eventually want to put it into. Do you think it matches?? (Don't worry about the size of the pot obviously due to it's pozzie in the photo)

Re: Serissa still in Training
Hey Jester
From the amount of trimming you must have done on this already to compact the foliage so well I would be thinking it is ready for a nice display pot.
they grow so slowly that you would have to have it in the ground for so long you will lose the nice compact foliage you have there.
