When it comes time to shape up the Apricot I will post it up.
I really like that trunk movement. I can get my hands on John Naka II. Thanks for the tip :wave:
Thanks Damian, I appreciate the positive feedback very much.

I look forward to seeing what you can accomplish with your Apricot.

Cheers,
Paul

G'day Craig,

Indeed, it's hard to beat the bark texture of an old prunus.

Thanks for taking the time to comment on my tree.

Cheers,
Paul

Thanks mate, I appreciate the compliment.

In regards to it's age, I'd say somewhere in the twenty to thirty year range. It's hard to say exactly, I grew this tree from a stump I collected in 1993 and did not really pay much attention to the age at that time.

Cheers,
Paul
