Ive had this Little John Callistemon in training since last year. It was drasticly root pruned and chopped back to a bare trunk. This tree grows very slowly.

Finally, but not all of my trees, a shohin Ficus Eugenoids I started last year. It was chopped back to a bare trunk but suffered some setbacks. Im concentraiting on healing the scar and thickening branches. It should turn out well and is one of my fovourites.
