Na i hold my own mantle, besides more milk to be drunk before i get to Pups level. Or was Chiver's??? Thanks Bodhi.

Hi Ant ,lovely little tree, How many times a year do you have to pot it. I had one for many years and had to root prune twice a year. Dam thing never stopped growing.

Hey Craig, Thanks mate. I should have but i didn't. My little trees like this, i sit on a tray full of gravel and water and as long as i trim the roots coming out of the bottom of the pot every couple of months, they seem to stay happy. I did cut alot of roots off this one though.

nice little tree ant, love the taper it has a nice flow and gentle curve and then i seen how little it was wow, at first i thought it was bigger from the first pics

will the pot stay this size being a privet or do you intend to down size it a little ??

And thats what im talkn about! Glad you liked it! I posted this especially for you. I will let it develope more for another year and see how i feel about it next year. A smaller pot when finished, isn't a problem when you sit on a water and gravel tray.

I posted this especially for you.

now i feel special

it is a great tree, and it will only get better with time. i am starting to get into smaller trees under shohin size now i have extra time on my hands still love my shohin though

are you going to go with a full ramified canopy or try and refine some padding in it?

jamie

Not sure on the final config for the canopy Jamie. I will play that by ear and see what cards are dealt. Thanks again.

Not one droopy leaf this morning and colour looking good!
