Again, thanks for the great feedback. Today is the day it will happen. I will move it into a large pot without touching the root system at all, find a good front and prune it. I will post it when finished.

I have been guilty of a mediocre styling job in the first place on this tree and went for a weeping effect which i do not think has worked. So, the quandary i am in is, stay with the original design and try and improve the already mature branches or strip it down and start from scratch. I am not daunted by either prospect and usually do not hesitate but i do not, YET, feel an affinity with this tree. So i would love to pool some ideas from the talented people using this site and see if we can come up with a solution to improve the already superb trunkline. I would love to see virts and from the computer challenged, like yours truly, some sound ideas. Thank you in anticipation. Bodhi.

I have been browsing thru the Casuarina posts & came across this one of yours...
Any chance of an update? Would love to know which way you went.
