Sounds like a plan to me mate! I always live with a new tree for a while before I make changes (if I make changes). Cool little tree :tu:

nice pick up-the two foliage masses are very similar and am wondering if this could be fixed by trimming either foliage pad or through wiring and breaking up either or both(assuming you see it as a problem of course)

:gday: All,

I have started working slowly on this new tree. I am thinning the foliage down and have wired a few branches for now but have not done much to the cascading branch yet
