I bought this serissa at my club on Saturday, after we had done my lily pilly we did a tiny bit of work but not much on it. I did the rest so I'm not sure if it is any good. I’m not sure what to do with the apex, should Let the top grow a bit more first? Also how does it look in general? I don’t like how the first branch on the right covers the apex of the smaller trunk, but without it I think it would look unbalanced, what do you think would be the go here?

There is this back branch, do you think I really need it? I didn’t put any wire on it as I am unsure what to do with it.

I would lose you "back branch" and also look at cutting back the right to the first or second branch. Lose the top of that completely.

What do you think if I were to do this? Could someone possibly please do a virt for me? If I take it off I can't put it back on.

I also want to create a bigger gap between the two trunks, I'll do that this weekend, I had them seperated on Saturday but they have slipped back :(
