Hey all,



Bought this little tree back in August of 2011 from eBay. The bark really intrigued me, never seen a Willow Leaf with striped bark like that. Here's how it looked upon arrival: And here's the tree as of the other day: I'm basically just shooting for an upright tree, and am letting that leader grow out and thicken as much as possible, which is taking quite a while. I'll get some better pictures up later. Comments are always welcome.

Looking really cool mate !!! you just need to run a sacrafice at the base of the new leader so it thickens up and marry's to your trunk, alternatively just let the top of the tree run...

Thanks Antonio! I'd love a branch to sprout around that area, but I have yet to get one. That'd be very nice.

would love to see how this is progressing, i think it will turn out very nice

Oops, just saw your reply Khan. It hasn't really done much, this guy has been slow to grow lately....

all good ryan
will be a nice little tree once the new leader starts to thicken up
