Hi Meagi , mate stay on top of them with the pinch and grow method and you'll have some very nice canopies in a very short time . It will be good to see these at seasons end .

Cheers Alpine

It is a great spot Meagi But they all straight trunks. I dug them from a water logged spot beside the Latrobe River. The tap roots almost didn't dint exist and with such a healthy root flair they have taken off amazingly :tu:
