Here are 3 Clerodendrum Heterophyllum, all started life as cuttings. These grew the best of everything in the bed, they make Ficus, Chinese Elm, and Trident Maples look slow. With good growth however, comes coarse roots. So relatively hard cutback performed again, they can handle it and more. I like the shape of the second tree for a more upright natural style but will give it more time. Given the growth rate of these trees I would like to gain some more serious girth and height, I've been leaning heavily towards chuhin size trees but would like to add some larger projects.
