Jeez Zube, another tree we have in common!

Based on advice a few years back from "The Rock" I've been re-building one from scratch.

I chopped it to h**l and lost the apex last month. Am now left with a chunk of trunk and a choice of major side branches to use as the new top depending on what angle I plant it at.

I'm happy with the progress however.

I feel that Candy is right in that you have to grab them early. Based on the evidence of mine they will grow very stiff and straight with largish leaves as well.

Will get a new photo tonite if you want.
