I believe this is my first experience with a truly fast growing tree. This one has put on six+ inches in 3 weeks.
I don’t want it spending all it’s time growing upwards, so it’s time for some styling.
With the last attempt I used some guy wires (well, actually raffia threads I got off some packaging or other) to hold down a branch, as a way of shaping without the risk of wires cutting into the tree. Let’s see:
Snip snip.
The roots might be trouble… I wonder if they will un-curve?
Not much wiring, mostly clip and grow. Here’s the result:
That’s quite a lean, which I don’t recall noticing before. I’d better move it somewhere to get more even sun. But looking ahead to when it get’s planted, so I correct the lean?
