[ANBITA] Callistimon viminales? #2 - 11 months

Height 180mm, Width 200mm
This was layered off from #1 ( posting.php?mode=edit&f=142&p=127224 ) early in 2011 and wired in August 2011 to get some serious movement in the trunk as they get really stiff to bend once they thicken up.
Hoping for some branching to shoot on the outside of the second bend in the next growing season. It has sprouted everywhere else I think it needs, We will see :fc: but if not cooperating and hard chop may force it :whistle:

Planning for a Slanting tree and think maybe the top bend to the left may be removed to lower the tree and keep the movement heading to the right rather than coming back on itself :lost:
