an update for this tree after taking new photos.

it has developed slowly and the branches are filling in and developing.
Still unsure of where its going, but it will gate there eventually/

ideas anyone?

Ken

It has very good potential. Can you show 4 different views from each side of this one. Hard to see where the branches go from the pics, but its good stock to work with kc

by the way, I love your little shohin of this, very cute. I'm jealous as we don't get banksia to grow well where we are.

Maybe make a new leader of the 3rd branch on the right hand side?

Looking a bit predictable right now.
Maybe a nice lean at re-pot will add some interest as well.

I know you like lean tree's but I think this one could either do with some bulk or a size reduction.


Loving the little Shohin's though!
Amazing leaf size for integrifolia!

thanks all for the comments
Will get some additional shots later in the weekend.

While out taking pics today for this years ANBA comp, I got an updated one of this.
the tree had a shoot low down that I decided to keep as a sacrifice, but may well keep in the final design. Time will tell.
