Hi the height is about 66cm spread 67cm and its 25cm across the base of the trunk. One of my more manageable sized ones just needs one strong man or two if one is me!

Re: Leaf trim and work on my F. rubiginosa
Looks like a great tree. Might be just me, but it seems a little off balance though. the first, longest branch from the bottom right seems a little too long. something similar on the left of it would seem more "equal", since my eye keeps moving to that long branch.
Acer buergerianum, Acer palmatum, Bougainvillea (something), Ficus microcarpa, Lagerstroemia indica 'Fauriei', Melaleuca styphelioides, Olea Europa, Prunus (something) 'Dwarf Apricot', Quercus robur, Ulmus parvifolia, Zelkova serrata

I don't mind the long first branch... See those type of branches in the full size trees. Would the third branch on right, might be a back branch be wired down a bit... Seems to be heading up a bit compared to the others at that level? Other wise nice tree

I think your tree is magnificent. I don't post pictures of my trees anymore because of unwanted critiques of my trees.

I know where you're coming from. I do not mind comments on photos of my trees....... If there is some evidence of more than effete application of some "rules" that at best can only be regarded as guidelines.
