BEAUTIFUL tree, they are slow to ramify so that makes this one even more special :worship: mine had amazing colour about a week ago , bright yellow however work got in the way and a storm came and took most the leaves off :cry: no picture this year but ill get one when its naked and ive tansplanted to a bonsai pot. Again wonderful tree.

Thats a real credit to you John, the bark texture and twigs are fantastic, nicely chosen pot to. I have about 20 of them here that have been developing from bare rooted nursery stock for about 10 years so I fully understand the time it takes to develop these trees. A couple of the gardens I work in have big old specimens that were planted in the 1920s and they are beautiful trees.
