Luckily I think both are heathly now, but the younger one is just stunted, with the need to be re-potted. Well the big one - the 12 yr old - I just recieved, and don't really see HOW I could shape it differently than it already is... It's kinda a odd duck - it's got a 80$ growth and size but a 30$ trim imo


Anyway - yea I'll have to get in on that thing when I get the chance, and won't think I'll kill it :lol:


As for the 4yr old, it's got a good shape imo, but I left about 25% un-trimmed on the top left - and yea, could use a bit of a cut now too. I need to repot it first though! Ahh! >_<
