All good, Don't really get hangovers. :? Used to give the head a shake in the morning just to see if it hurts at all :shock:

I cut a little bit here and there off and think I come up with some sought of a plan, I will get the carver out soon ;)
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.

Heaps of potential there Bretts :tu: Could you get the two middle ones in the centre and at the back to flow the other way next repot :?: Or do you prefer it that way.

Thanks Ces glad you like.
I reckon I might have taken too much out of the main tree and I may get some die back. In Fact I will be surprised if I don't. But since I am not sure where I am going this could be a good thing. I only took dead wood of the other smaller tree so that will not affect it at all.

Thanks Meagi I have three other English elms on the go maybe some one else will take over this one ;)

Maybe Bodi. The middle "tree" is connected to the far right back tree but nothing saying it can't be separated. It is a bit of a every which way composition at the moment but swapping that trees direction might help some?
