Hey guys.

Yesterday I picked up an australian brush cherry for 75 bucks. It is by far the most money I have spent on a tree to date and I am determined to create a great specimen out of this tree. The reason it was a little more expensive is because it is about 8 years old and already styled in the broom fashion. To preface, I have never thought this style to be very realistic looking - unless they are maintained, trees simply don't grow like that in the wild.

I have always enjoyed the satsuki azalea in either literati or semi-cascade styles but my current living arrangements prohibit the proper care of such a tree, therefore I bought the cherry so I can enjoy a flowering tree in a year round indoor environment. My question for you is is the literati or semi-cascade style appropriate for a brush cherry tree? Have you ever seen it done? Info on the internet is very limited on this species. Thanks a bunch and apologies for the long intro.
