Imperial Masterpiece
This is one i picked up from a nursery around apr/may time. its been responding very well, thought i'd give it a thread....
i see a naturalistic informal broom in the material, with a high canopy and a tall slender trunk, to my eye the proportions are just about right for a convincing image
all the long stems were hacked back to begin inducing taper. problem areas were reduced, these are areas where i think potential inverse could occur, barring branches. thicker sections were cut back harder, ugly knuckles/knobs cut out. basically balancing the tree out to avoid problems down the line. the tree has a solid trunk, good nebari and basal flare, its one of the first things i look for, because as we all know, its time consuming to develop. in most cases i prefer to spend my time building a branch structure right away usually
still some way to go
