Thanks Jay,
That clears things up pretty well. I'm still in the shaping stage with my first Potensai, (as they are called here) I hope I'm doing the right things.
darkchild, I guess the we should get some pictures of our trees posted in the show and tell section and get some advice on what we should be doing w/ them
I don't have my own camera but maybe i can ask around and borrow one after my exam tomorrow...
Peace,
