There isn't much change since the last posting. Just hoping that the branches are more stable to allow me to remove the wires in spring.

This final shape of the plant is very different from what I started off with at the beginning. This is now a twin trunk and I am developing it into a sort of a broom-like informal twin trunk. It has been cold in Canberra in winter and when this photo was taken, not much has grown except the flower buds started to swell. I can foresee a denser growth of the canopy in about 2 to 3 years’ time. When it reaches this stage, and with full flowering, it can be a beautiful sight to behold.
