Another year ish on and a few of the Aerial roots have made it to the soil.

Defoliated , looking for a little back budding.

Hi Alex, since you are trying to encourage some back dudding, may I suggest you nip the terminal buds off all the branches on your tree. Results will be a lot more satisfying mate.

Cheers Graeme I nipped the buds and boy it's gone mad over the hotter months.
I did a half soil change and a little freshen up and the results have been great.

Set some guy wires to pull down the lower branches.

Looking great! But I'm a bit worried at how deep that wire is cutting into the top left branch.

Defoliated , and a restyle.

Looks really good... and that duck o n the firat page is the icing on top of the cake but the tree looks really solid and its something that I would be proud of without a doubt
