Hey Paul,
I am a huge Erik Wigert fan. Erik has one of my raintrees down there that he is training for me in the flat-top style, so I know first hand the level of knowledge this guy has with raintrees. It is astonishing how well and how fast he has developed my tree. I've also been to his nursery probably at least 10 times in the last 2 years and have seen his stock improve. I think if you're down in FL you need to take a class with that guy. I should post before and after pictures of what he's done with my raintree. Maybe I'll ask him.
Have a great week Paul and thank you so much for uploading these pictures.
Sam
