I posted a while ago about it looking like a llama so yeah I get that.
That's probably the style I'm aiming for.?

I just want to know what is going on with the wire on the tree(s) in the background.

It's just a baby bougie swinging on the strong, burly arms of his father while the mom takes a selfie in the foreground. One happy family. Sometimes life is good for the bougie-oisie.

I have two. First two I ever owned. Socially acceptable beauty may never be in their 
future, but we've been through a lot together.

You've kept the Fukien Tea alive, so that's something.

It's very finicky about water and drops it's leaves at the blink of an eye, but damn if it doesn't flower every chance it gets.
I know, it's a love/hate relationship with them.

It's just never had a meaningful growth season for any of the three that I've had it. It was an impulse WalMart "rescue plant". This is the second season in that pot, so I'd be excited for some vigorous growth.
I understand. Mine was a HD "I'm sick of winter" impulse buy. It's quite happy right now, but that could change any minute.

Got any particular care tips for me? I'll take "quite happy" over "limping along " any day.
I may be jinxing myself here, but it's on the east side of my house, gets morning sun, shaded in the afternoon. I repotted it from the fluffy soil with the peace rock. I don't water until it's a bit dry, but not completely. I try not to look at it directly and curtsy in front of it.

Cool, I'll work on my courtesy, and give it a bit more drying time.
New and improved! The ugly mulberry is now even uglier than before. I partially defoliated in order to reduce transpiration demand because the root system of the air layer was not as extensive as I’d thought and I was starting to see wilting on the branches.

mulberries seem to be hard to kill. I replanted mine this spring into a basket, its roots have filled the basket already.....

I’m proud to resurrect this thread with my entry. This is a tree where I’m going to fully embrace the weird.
For the sake of my reputation I will never disclose the potter’s name

That is pretty much the whole package right there. The only mitigation to the ugliness is the green in the pot harmonizing w the color of the bark. So close to perfection, alas.

Ugly tree update...then and now. Both have had a change of front.
