purchased today and given a quick nighttime trim and pot chop

already has a nice little bit of shape so should be a pleasure to deal with

J. procumbens is suitable. Now that you've decided on the size, could you give us the height please?

it is about 300mmish to the apex, so relatively small and young.it is at the moment simply broken up into main branches and clumps, as to see which will be the best route for the main line, which i am open to interpretation , i am thinking of keeping the strong lower mid limb and the central high limb, reducing the foliage pads and creating a more angular central feeder, its got a good years growth ahead of it though

see what we can do

the maybe front (mid limb on the left )
