Re: Schefflera - Dwarf Umbrella Tree
Thank you for the advice, I have quite a few cuttings now from a brutal cut back, future fusion material. There's still a few areas of growth which I'm not content with, but with all the clutter removed it's much easier to see where to go. I endeavour to take photos today.
Brett, you have a very nice tree there.
Thanks again.

Re: Schefflera - Dwarf Umbrella Tree
Looking forward to the pics Anja. As Walter siad about the first styling of broadleaf trees. If your partner say's it looked better before you started then you have taken enough off and have done a good job

It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

Re: Schefflera - Dwarf Umbrella Tree
This guy was over due for a trim so I decided to defoliate.
Then give it a trim
Then repott.
Much better after the right branch was also reduced.
