I take it the adjustment was up? being that there is that styro block in there? I beleive with this tree the way the tail moves having this trunk up slightly near the base will accenuate the tail going down towards the end, imagine the tree be on a cliff and its base originally growing strongly up, then gravity, wind, snow has come along on to its branches that have grown out to get the sun, weighing them down some, then once it is spring again it can grow up again (as the movement in your tree shows on the tail) then getting weighed down once again. i reckon this tree will be much like that, not to disimalar to the virt i did for mitchells juniper, i will save the pic and have a crack at it for you tomorrow when i am more awake
cheers man
this will be a good tree and it is just time that it needs, the adjustment is good, now let it grow Jamie
taking the top half of trees of since 2005!
