Victrinia, thank you for your encouragement and coming from you especially, it means a great deal to me.
Scott, I'm loving your virtual, thank you so much for taking the time to create it for me and for your thoughts on the trees future direction.
I think that in order to achieve your outcome, I need to cut back hard into the pom to arrive at a starting point for those layers. These trees generally respond very well to pruning so given that we're at last enjoying some very welcome rain here in South East Queensland and that spring is also well under way, it shouldn't take too long to see some basic pads emerge.
My club meets next on December 1st and we're having a Dutch auction so will keep my eyes peeled for a more squat pot for her.
Thank you both again for your encouragement, blessings to all.
Mark
