This was discovered laying in the garden so i took to it with some wire and compressed the living daylights out of it

A quick slip pot and back out there for a year or two .

Cant see the bends or movement however I can say there is numerous 360 degree rotations in the main trunk and branches compressing it down from around 750mm to 300.

The plan is to add a few guide wires and reduce the height to 200-250mm.
