Still in training, but with this kind of species: clip and grow, clip and grow, clip and grow, etc...

Nice one! I agree with clip and grow TOTALLY! For these bastards have wretched painful thorns that go deep and break off. I have a few of these and after my wife digging the thorns out a few times she says I should throw the trees out.

Very nice Alain! I wanted to pick this one up on eBay but it was priced to high $700. I'm still looking.

How's this one doing now? I just scored a couple free landscape ones with huge old thick trunks and super gnarly bark. They were already pulled out and didn't have the best roots, but I hope they'll survive.
