Karen said it was a bit bushy , wait til mom comes home . Couldn't have asked for better positioning of the new shoots , now I'll just toss it in with the others til' The Wife finds it , should have filled out a bit by then .

Cheers . Alpineart

He he he! Alpine!
I looked at the last picture and thought:
Waw! Alpine's garden looks so mush like mine!
His dishes even look like mine...what a coincidence!
Then looked and realized it is me who posted it.
Now when I posted this...I saw the second page.
I nip the ends of my sheflera very early...like after 1 cm to a leaf in the direction I want it to go. Then it gets nice curves without wiring...sheflera are not very good back budders for branches,
Looking good. Hope you will manage to get branches where you want them.

Hi Neli ,i noticed the curve appear after I trimmed them last year , makes for a nice change in direction . Now either your tip toeing around my garden or I'm tip toeing around yours . At a glance I didnt recall seeing the pic , must have been a bad hair day .

I have 3 shoot ideally placed a couple more and that will do , then i will concentrate on building the ramafication .

Cheers .Alpine

They are rather slow to ramify, but I do get the occasional buck budding.
Let me show you.

Hi Neli , definately another take on a progression . Mine is growing up and cutting down , your's is cut down and growing up . Makes for a good double take on the one species . All I need now is the topic changed to the correct name and we'll be "grinning like a goat in the garden".

Cheers . Alpine


OK alpine lets see those pearly whites
