This tree has come such a long way from what it looked like just 3 years ago. It has finally been carved to add some taper to the top of the tree and the branches are now in place. It will just take a few more months to thicken the foliage to complete the overall look of this tree. I plan to submit this tree for consideration for the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival in 2007.

A few months later and this tree has begun to fill in nicely. In the near future I plan to carve the top to add taper and interest. Also looking for better branch development and to define the pads. Lastly a change of pot to complete the tree. Nov 2005

Here’s the front. Coming along very nicely. I need to do some carving on the top right third of this tree. It is a little heavy up there and looks to thick. Hopefully sometime this year I’ll get the chance.
This tree was root pruned rather hard this spring, and never slowed down. The goal was to get the tree into a very shallow pot. The reasons for this are first to make the trunk look bigger, and secondly so that I could lift the thing. The tree was wired out, and is developing very well. This summer I plan to do some carving so that the top tapers more and blends better. The photo is of the back of the tree. July 2005

This tree is now just about 2 months away from being repotted and cleaned up a bit. The branches are too long and starting to curl up at the ends. I will try to get this into a substantially smaller pot and go for a more finished look. December 2004
