Old men cant... you know..., so they need to find something else to brag about ;)

Any thing past the parallel in pot culture is a problem. Unless it grows that way and that, isthe problem it takes a while.

Would wiring your shape then using a weight, gradually bring the branch down?

As I said I have tried just about all of those tricks. Your!!! tree was a case in question. I know you have a picture of it.
If you look at the branch that is on the left, you will notice that it is not past the parallel. I had tried on about 6 occasions to ease it down. Each time there was loss of vigor. Also the slanting one in my dillema the branch on the left is being re grown after I tried to lower it. So as you can see it is not for want of trying. :D Pup and with this I have made my 300 post so I get another tool Mrs says thats good. Now come to bed. :twisted: :D :o Pup

Congratulations on your 300th post, but bear in mind, it's quality, not quantity, that really counts.

Thanks Kindly Pup
I love the Bunjingi form. It can look so simple yet I am starting to learn how hard this form is to get right.
The natives branches not going past horizontal must make it even harder. I will go over some pics of Bunjingi and give this more thought.
I like the second thin one the best at the moment. The fragile strenght of Bunjingi is mesmerising :)
I wonder if the first one can have some removed to excentuate the downward branch?
It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

G, day guys I have been answering on the down ward branch on species. Also the Paper barks that I have posted. DUH :roll: :geek:

These two tree's are Hybrids, they will except that down ward branch.
But be aware that it does weaken, so you will have to sacrifice, some aesthetics for a while then cut it back for display. Then let it have its head again. Mind you all trees should be let have there head a bit like a holiday as constant pinching and pruning put them under stress. So for one season give them a break
sorry for the confusion Asus and any body else that was a little perplexed at what I was saying on that downward branch. I will email you one little s#*t :D :o
