No particular plan for this stock tree except to apply a few bends for future development.

Hi Gerard
I suppose with material like this tree, there is not much more you can do other than bending it like Baloc. :whistle:
For those who doesn't know who Baloc is, he is a fellow Melbournian who likes to and is well known for bending his trees like, well......., Baloc.

Difficult material indeed. Impossible to form a serious plan apart from the obvious trunk chop and wait 10 years.
So we had some fun with aggressive bending. Now the strategy is wait 10 years.
With some luck we will have an interesting trunk, it could just as easily turn out looking like dog S#£t

I have not seen this tree for a couple of years now. Hanh will be demonstrating some of his aggressive bending at next years AABC convention which should be a bit of fun. Perhaps an appearance from his alter ego, Mr Ben Ding
