It’s been 3 months since this one was potted, and it’s been growing happily. This one always does best in the summer heat. This guy really wants to grow at the top, but it’s already too tall. So in it comes for some reductions.
Here’s the aftermath. I’ve cut back a bunch of the new growth, and even one of the leading branches. Plus there’s a few ties to encourage branches to separate and level, without having to wire them.
Hmm…I didn’t realise it’s been such a short time since I potted it. I really should have left it alone for a season.
Also, that base is a little uninteresting. I wonder if I can do something about that.
