I've poked the eye poker elsewhere, up to the left. The pom pom foliage pads have also had a bit of a seeing to. Moving the eye poker did reveal a lack of movement in the trunk, so as you can see the tree is somewhat clad in 3.5mm wire to hold the bends I made which further emphasis the movement which was already there. The trunk does taper OK, it's just my uneven wiring which makes it look odd. I certainly don't think I'll be winning any prizes for neat wiring any time soon. This tree obviously still needs to evolve and I shall be carrying out further work on the pads throughout the year. Just thought I'd get some feed back to see if all you experts think I'm moving in the right direction. Hope the photo is clear enough.
