Its that time of year again. If I bit the bullet and reduced this tree by two thirds I could make something out of it but in the meantime its flowering is welcome.

Craig nice mate. I like the trunk alot and the movement. Its unusual in its styling but not unlike some of the wisterias you see. Im hoping mine will become something in the coming years. You dont see many around so this one is defiantly worth holding :)

So bite the bullet already :D i think it looks great in flower. But as you say, it needs some work.

Love this time of year, young trident and japanese maple leaves a lovely red, prunus flowering, and all the pines throwing out candles :D its terrific.

Hi Noah to say the styling is unusual is being very kind, I would say it has no style, but it does have a good base and roots
Jarrod its not high on my priority list, I have quite a few of these growing in the clump style which is the usual for this species, they are of much more interest to me.
