Grew this one from a cutting about 10 years ago and it was kept in a small pot on the back bench for years. Trunk chopped it last year and was going to enter it last year, but let it go. Thought I might as well throw it in this year or I'll never do anything with it.
Currently 380mm high but that will be cut to around 120mm in the first prune. Cost no cash but 10 years of watering and feeding (and not much else)
