That's pretty damn stout! I think Boss Hog is still out there. This one should be called Godzilla! My back hurts just looking at it.
I opened the door :)
This one is pretty far along now and in a 5 gallon pot, but still 45 lbs.

I posted a pic of it today in "please share photos" and tagged you.

Sorry @JudyB for posting on your thread.

3 days later, finished defoliation and wiring the pig. Moving right along this one is... I have taken shots all the way around the tree, wish I were savvy enough to make a turning vid. Anyway here are the first 5 starting at the front. Last side will have to post separately as can only post 5 at a time...

Evolving nicely!
I've gotta say, I really like the back as front. (sorry for unsolicited comment)

Love the piglet! Just for fun, I went to the first picture of piglet in this thread...man, the tree has come a long way in a short time. Well done!
I had also forgotten how it looked when I got it, I went back and it's a fast developing tree for sure. Lots of work, but worth it! Thanks Dave!
Here is the photo, sure had a lot to choose from...

I saw a livestock truck today with pigs in it!

Don't see em as much as I used to so it was exciting...
So is this tree...

But only, well may be not only....
But definitely in your hands!

Good news...them storms come in...you can just put the other trees under this one...and they will all be good!

Yeah, I think so, I was lucky that Don thought enough of me to pair me up with it!
Agree with that. Often we think of a nice pairing between tree and container or accent plant. In this case good pairing of tree and caretaker...Always enjoy seeing updates on our favorite Piglett.

GREAT work Juds!!! Nationals here comes Piglett! :p
At least 4 years for this one... unless it really takes off! This is the first tree I've ever completely defoliated, kinda scary all on it's own. But was a lot of fun actually!
