Keep an eye on the smallest stem. It seems left behing in growth. Maybe skip a round of trimming to let it get stronger?
I do not have the species, so cannot give you recommendation re. flowering.
How is the healing of scars proceeding? I am happy to seee they do heal over. I should get me one of these one day

thank you, yes pierneef style is what i am aiming for.leatherback wrote: Pleasing image, and the tree is obviously healthy. I think you are going for the savanna tree look? Pierneef style?
i believe the way it was potted before did not allow for roots to grow on that side and any new growth would just die off after winter so i have not been able to build that section but i been holding off on any pruning to help branches elongate and get stronger and also repoted the tree a little to the right to help it establish roots in hopes of it helping out.leatherback wrote: Keep an eye on the smallest stem.

scars are healing over extremely fast. some even have fully healed over in about 1 year or so when i have other trees that have had scars for 3yrs and are about half way healed over. great species to work with, pretty drought tolerant and they LOVE the sun. all day direct sun and it grows fast! will update photos of some healed over scares after work today.leatherback wrote: How is the healing of scars proceeding?
