I have got about halfway to two thirds up the tree tidying, trimming, compacting and on the lowest 2 branches breaking into 3 pads.

Still a bit to go and will update when finished.

Will need to fill out more over the next few months and years to really sing.

very nice -it will be interesting to see what you do with the apex----I find it difficult to do a rounded crown and not have it look a bit top heavy

I wonder Grant what your thoughts are of this tree in a shallower oval pot?
