Carissa grandiflora

All, i picked up this carissa (natal plum) a couple of years ago , the trunk had an aweful bend in it which dictated it be a cascade. I didn't like that idea and wired the trunk to remove the bend. It flowers regularly and almost died twice but is now on track

Nice one Craig, These do make nice trees I have seen them as large trees also. I do remember one that caused quite a debate on another site. That was only a small one.
It was created by one of our members here.

Good one Craig, nice healthy tree with good lines and a pot that really shows it off.
Cheers, Anthony

Thanks guys, it's not the size of those Casa's but it's coming along nicely, here's a bigger pic as i always make them too small

I had to steal the pot from a maple of about the same size, I'm glad i picked this one
