Nah, they have grown too big and dense. I took them to the ragged edge now. I mist all I can now to keep from browning. The show don't start till next wednesday. By then they ought to look pretty crispy. This tree was a last minute dicision. I wanted a cascade to show, and this is the only one I have. You are right on procumbems, when they are healthy the produce. Take constant pinching to look good. Funny, everyone liked the tree when it was on its last leg. It really looked battered by the elements, cause it was. The other thing you can't see in the two dimensional picture is the depth of the foliage. The tree has a rather nice looking 3/4 view that does not translate well to pics. There is also a branch behind the big one that adds depth. When seen at table height on the stand, the tree is rather wide, the planes are not only at different levels but vary from front to back.
