Progress: Angophora Prune & Wire.

While I'm at it, I might as well throw in a pic of the original Angophora seen in this article (see post #3 to post #7, post #10 and post #23). Since I have named the other Angophora 'Cletus', I thought that 'Jabba' might be appropriate for this one.

So, I've been a little brutal with the pruning of this one... Never fear - they grow so prolifically that I shouldn't regret being so bold. Bring on the taper!!! Besides, I have to prune vigorously if I want to achieve convincingly twisty and gnarly branches. The arrow indicates the bud where I hope the new leader will emerge.

Further news as it comes to hand.

Thanks.
