Hi Mr Miyagi, when I'm happy that it has survived the ordeal, i will refine the top & as that was the only area with foliage I will be bending some branches downwards. Lots to do if it does survive, which I'm looking forward to.

RoyH (20/02/2010) Hi Mr Miyagi, when I'm happy that it has survived the ordeal, i will refine the top & as that was the only area with foliage Iwill be bending some branches downwards. Lots to do if it does survive, which I'm looking forward to.Yeah,got a real challenge with that one.What kinda pot do you plan to use,or do you plan to keep it as a kinda ornamental tree in a large garden pot.
