Gday team!
Had a few spare minutes on ly hands, so I thought I'd take the time tto post the most recent pic of my Angophora costata (Cletus), last seen
here and in post #32. This photo is from one week ago, and you can see by the scarlet new growth that Cletus is bolting after his Winter doldrums.
Okay... So there are a few problems yet to be sorted - like the fact that some (most?) of the leaves are larger than the considerable trunk. That does not concern me at the moment, and may not for a few years yet. Notice how much both the left-hand branch and the new leader on the right have thickened since the last photo shoot. Previously, the new leader was somewhat thinner than the first branch, but is now almost twice the diameter of the latter. Gotta love that!
I have done some wiring of the lower branches and trunk, as well as thinning of the canopy. I'll get pics the next time there's a bit of sunlight here.
Thanks.
Fly.
