After 7 months the canopy has begun to take shape. This of course is only the first styling, with more to come. I want to develop to top on the right side of the mound. If all goes well I expect to have this tree ready to submit to Epcot display in 2009.

Well Epcot is just a few weeks away and I have completed the final pruning on this tree for display. I have also darkened the bark and bleached the shari with two coats of lime sulfur. I feel that these trees can look a bit too. “topiary” if they get too full. So I tried to show off more of the trunk and really separate the branch to make it more like a tree. Look for it at Epcot Apr 5 – Jun 3 2007. Mar 2007

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.

April 16th 2004, The tree was on display at Epcot until June 6th 2004. This picture was taken at night because there is so much greenery behind it during the day that the tree gets lost in the picture.
