Update


Haven’t done a great deal to this tree yet just cut a few tips here and there
Quite vigorous
Have noticed a few roots out of the drainage holes
The leaves were chewed to bits during January February moved it to a different spot in the garden gave it a water tray and it returned to good health

Baldtwitlion,
Good strong growth in reasonably short amount of time - it wants to be BIG!

update
it loves to grow
still haven't touched the roots
essentially let it grow cut some off and repeat in an attempt to gain a nice trunk line
and constant pinching the new growth

The April update
I haven’t been at the roots yet but i do think it is in need of some attention
Again i have only been growing and pinching which seems to work well
They do love to grow




January






Im still not sure about a viewing front just yet
Its all been fun so far

Looking good! Thickening up nicely.

Mate, that is looking fantastic

I can’t wait to see this progress, even after the comp.

Wow, that is some tree-mendous growth, congrats.

Are the leaves opposite or alternate?

Alternate

October 20 update
I had to get this out of the pot and check the roots it had been in the pot since the comp started and i was having issues with the water not penetrating tried aerating but could barely get the chopstick inserted



Early October

I scraped away most of the top layer of soil I haven’t cut any of the roots just a little separating and potted into a slightly bigger container
I will wait for another month or two before i work on the roots and hopefully pot it into a final container for the rest of the comp

This tree is still growing quite well
Eucs are vigorous growers
Did some work to the tree in February and have since just tried to maintain its present shape

Looking great, very natural style. And starting to bark up nicely too.
