Please keep us posted over the years as these progress. There's not a lot of information about rainforest species around. Most of them will grow straight and long in the wild, to get to the sunlight as quickly as possible - have you had any thoughts about what shapes you want these trees to grow into?

I like the cedar trunk - a large tree could be very impressive.
