Looks like the last one has been chopped and I woud do the same for the others. Once they shoot, get some wire on to provide movement as well.

Have you lifted and done any root work?

Been in the ground for the last 10-14yrs they have had the roots chopped with a shovel in the past but have been left to grow with out any work for at least last 6yrs some died threw the drought we had but most survived as they only get watered when it rains most have some nice bark on them to :tu:

Im planing on chopping a few at the start of spring an lift some others :fc:
