I got this tree for $100 from Brussels on Amazon. Considering they offered free 2 days shipping I’m not all that disappointed. What can I do to this tree to improve it? I appreciate any suggestions.

I just want to say that your diligent research has proven successful.

This is a great combination of the value and price you were looking for in this material.

Well done.

Think I'd layer the straight part off first.

Use the moving base and the straight as 2 trees.

Layer or cuttings all the branches on the straight part when it's established, to allow the top only growth to fix the transition.

Make a forest out of the branches.

3fer.
