Thanks, everyone.
Judy, the other one, as I predicted, is more difficult to work with, and would take a serious toll on my "reputation" (LOL - "Reputation? RepuTAtion? We don't need no stinking reputation!"
) were I to post it at this stage in its evolution.
For now, it is much shorter, never having achieved anywhere near the attractiveness I thought it would at its previous height, and it's growing VERY slowly back into a, hopefully, better form. It's still in that lovely Erin pot at the moment, but it's obvious I'm going to have to put it in the ground for a number of years to accomplish the needed rehab within what's left of my lifetime.
