work out.

still needs a wire up , but i think its looking better. forth branch needs to come down a bit and i have a long back branch
to fill the gap above it. now i wait to see what it looks like with its clothes on .lol

And people said it was crap. . . . .

This is the best way to get over being overcharged for a tree; to make it into something that will one day be worth much more than you were charged. Please keep us posted when it leafs out.

hey Alpine, dont know how old it is, its 600mm high and about 50-60mm at the base.
(check 'yesterdays purchase' in the exotic species thread).
