Hi All Ive Posted This A Few Weeks Ago And I Think It Might Have Been Over Looked ,just Wondering If Any-one Has Any Thoughts On My Bougie

Simon:

I like the direction you are taking your bougie. The leader will quickly add movement and some taper to the trunk. The success of your design will depend on any growth appearing from the left side. I can see the first signs of a nebari as well . Was this a cutting? What color are its bracts?

Hi Simon,

I'm not familiar with how well bougies ramify, but perhaps something like the attached would be a direction to move in.

All the best,

Aaron
