G'day all
Height 47cm Width 22cm Artist Craig Bryce (me) State Queensland. I bought this tree 4 months ago and it is now showing the vision i had when i first purchased it as rootbound nursery stock. When i first got it I decided on twin trunk style (I know its not technically twin trunk but couldnt think of what style it may be)and cleared all the small branches below the canopy and wired the smaller trunk to bring it more inline with the main trunk as it was originally out to the right more. Since then all i have done is feed it and occasionally trim it to keep it compact. Next on the agenda is wiring the canopy to give it a more shapely look. The pot it is in is a pot i had laying around, i dont think the colour matches the tree, so when im satisfied with its growth and shape I will decide on a new pot to bring out it's natural beauty. Hope you guys like it
