thanks mate, im considering a bit of a change for this tree. but we will see ....

well this tree has gone through a bit of a major change this evening taking roughly a 300 degree angle change. i saw that changing the angle to upright rather than cascading would make a more interesting tree and make better use of its key features.

Nice change Hugh! Looked good before but looks great now. Love the way you have made the pot work too. Now you just have to stop it rolling off your bench

Regards,
Steven

thanjs steven
yeah wouldnt want it rolling away after the work just strapped it to another pot to hold the angle than tied it all down to the bench, is a bit top heavy at the moment to stand confidently on its own. bit of plastic on the old top and cut out of the side to water from. should repot soon once i have a good amount time to sit down and rearrange the roots.

this one has had a lot of growth put on in the past few months with a lot of pruning happening. i discovered alot of dry rot in the shari so a lot of work was done removing the rotten areas creating hollows in the wood.
