Depends what your using - phone or comp.

On a basic comp keyboard its the two keys between the enter and backspace buttons (or the two keys to the right of the 'p' key).
There are many ways to do things, but only one "best" way.

You certainly have some great projects on the go Bodhidarma. I am looking forward to seeing how you go with this stock, whatever it ends up being!

Also, although I read on the forum somewhere that Steven does not want people giving directions as to the competition, I think you need a minimum of two photos of your entry?

Good luck!

I think you are onto something there.
Acca sellowiana
Feijoa or Pineapple Guava.

Good luck there Bodhi :D

Cheers,
Mojo

O.K, if not than very close. I have one in my yard and the leaves are much smaller and it flowers which this one never has. I have now figured out that the difference is..the one in my yard survives without care and the one in the pot gets (obviously) to much care. Good to know i can withhold water to reduce leaf size. :palm: Thanks Gentlemen.

A couple of styling photos to keep me in the comp. :tu: Not a lot to do at the moment. I will root prune and expose the trunk next Spring.

Root pruned and into a lovely little Trevor Wheeler pot. Tweaked the wiring and planting angle a little. Now sit back and watch it grow a little.

I have wired out the two new branches it has given me and a new one developing at the top. Baby steps but still moving forward.
