Howzit All,

This is just an up-date. I wasn't happy where it was going so I repotted it into a larger pot, chopped it hard and starting all over again. Your comments are welcome. :)

nice Tim :D

the tree is looking very healthy with lots of choice to work with! it will be interesting in another few months of strong going like this to see it defoliated and wired out! hopefully the new shoots are coming from different parts of the trunk and not just coming out from 1 or 2 buds.

Jamie :D

Way too go Tim, I see that many willow leaf that could be great trees that are let down because of their nebari. This is not going to be one of those trees, you can control the newer roots under the surface which will give you a great nebari. Well done !
Cheers Rod.. :)

Much better tim. Something to think about is to bury those roots left over, in the hope to grow new ones closer to the trunk and cut these further back next repot. Rod is right!!! as usual... :D 8-) ;)
