Sorry to keep poking, but I'd love to see what you've done with this tree.

It's alive and doing quite well, but I am letting some of the lower branches to grow out to restore their health, so it isn't very photo worthy at the moment.

One thing that is worth mentioning is that trees go through cycles for display, restyling, recovery. Repotting is a very rejuvenating activity so on an older tree like this one it might not be an activity to perform the year you plan to display it (unless you're showing out of leaf) because it promotes so much coarse growth.

Regards,

Matt

How about an update? Have you done any more work on it by now, or are you planning to this year?

Here's another bump for a great thread. We are still looking for an update, six years on now. How's the tree doing?
