Ken, lovely bougie. The white seems to be a superior blooming bougie. The other branch you have in 2006, was it removed?

Yep, It was too straight and also came from underneath the main trunk, so removed it

Looks like you still have it "on" the Sudden Impact then Ken?
Nice tight foliage on it. Is that recent regrowth from a post-flowering hack back?
Sweet tree!

Thanks
Yep after flowering i cut back hard to remove all wayward shoots and thin it out.
also gets a handful of Sudden impact and is in Diatomite / Zeolite mix
It has naturally small leaves anyway so that helps too

Ken,could you look at my post, I don't know whether the other branch coming out sideways should be wired down too,or lopped off.
