I'm pretty happy with how the structure is panning out, and with about 12 months left in this shindig it's time to get the foliage a bit more refined I think. I'll be looking to repot this as well but for now I want to see some good budding that I can work with on the structure I have left.
I have left a couple of branches coming from the base to get a bit more thickness. The base is roughly 25mm across right now so not big but if I can get to somewhere between 30-40mm by this time next year I'll be satisfied.
Looking forward to a big rebound from this tree. As long as I get it the next thing I'll need to look at is getting a reduction in leaf size ...
... always something to contemplate ...
