This one scrubbed up alright for recent photos.... if you ignore the very average trunk base.. (mainly due to all the wire its been through).
>Needs a moss mound on top of the pot i'm thinking...... Any other thoughts, ideas & opinions very welcome & wanted. Cheers

Re: Gardenia Cascade
Hi C.K. Now that you have got it into a pot you can see that the tree needs a head (apex) and a wiring of the secondary's to create flow throughout the tree. With cascades the branches should all flow in the same direction. At the moment it looks like it is fighting with itself. That goal will help you develop a better eye for detail/harmony. A great start and keep us updated as it progress's.
