I posted these trees nearly 12 months ago. I have been practicing my carving skills on these trees for when I aquire a decent tree with more potential. The trees haven't turned out too bad they need quite a bit more development but they may turn out to be good trees one day The name of the trees are Tecoma Stans or Yellow Bells thanks to Ash for the ID. With a little work. Here is number 2 Both trees are about 40cm tall and the first one is 25 cm across base and number 2 about 10cm

Very drastic carving work! The second one still needs some taper - a little bit more carving there needed!

On a serious note - I do think both trees need to be potted in bigger containers to regain there health and vigor.

Are you treating the deadwood?
