I rewired this tree in order to get some control of all the new growth. I don’t expect this tree to really have a defined shape until next summer. However I believe the basic outline can be seen at this stage. Sept 2006

Well this tree has been through so much last year, but has bounced back nicely. The branch placement has been done, and it is wired out once again. At this time the only area that the tree has a weakness in on the first back branch. That branch was nearly lost last year, and it taking a while for it to grow back. However the tree is looking good. This year I plan on developing the top of the tree. It may have to be shortened, but in any case it needs to be filled in drastically. July 2005
By the way, I submitted this tree to for the Ben Oki Award. I didn’t win, but they did offer some suggestions:
As a special note I would like to give you the comments made by the judges about your tree :
Quite an impressive trunk. It can be a great tree and more natural and better by doing three things: the primary apex should : Be shorten , Have a round top, Be straight following the straight line of the tree.

Tree rewired and restyled. Dec 2003. Next year the tree will be repotted into a smaller pot. This pot is purely for training because a large root below the surface needs to be removed, but new roots need to grow first.
Also pretty nice to see how my neighbor’s swimming pool turned out.
