| I love seeing your work Roy , you do really 'dare-to-go-in-there' and get on with it , brilliant, keep up the good work Another dismal day here, -4c overnight, and as there was plenty of sunshine yesterday, couldn't see your hand in front of your face this morning, dense fog. Now pouring with rain/sleet and snow mixed in with it, happy days

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.

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.
