Four years in now and it has been repotted and trimmed. I leaned it more forward and turned it slightly for a better front. A bit of yoghurt on the soil for some moss and wait for bud break.

Amazing - so envious!

Have you thought of cutting back the pruning scars and covering with cut paste? They should repair well.
I did this at the end of summer on mine and even in a couple of months I saw improvement.

Looking good Bodhi.
Following some advice here I've successfully tried multiple defoliations in a growing season.
This has been great for ramification.

There is a great thread somewhere which I'll try to find..

Hi ya Symon, i am wanting to leave the proud ones on the trunk as holes. I saw one in a garden and the cambium had grown into the hole and it looked very cool. Somewhere for the birds to nest

Thanks boics, good advice.

Hey Bodhi, I totally understand that choice. Possum holes are cool.

Boics, That is my thread. I'm glad you gave it a go it works really well, would like to see what result you got. I will do an update soon.

Cheers,
