Re: Silky Oak
Took me a while to work out how to get the pictures in too
make sure you press the press the put in line button after you upload them. I'm sure one of the mods will be able to help as well.

Re: Silky Oak
Is that a cut down pot you have it in ? I would stick it back in the ground and grow it taller and thicker before I did anything with it in a pot. It will grow much faster in the ground
Better off posting the photos here rather than from another site - they are here forever then
