Lots of possibilities.
Yes, better this way, lots of possibilities.
I want to call your attention that the current front is already slanted.
As for cascades, really I think this tree gives me more challenging opportunities. I am a little biased about cascading every single tree with a long branch. As the Junipers prostata, procumbens or horizontalis, *everybody* makes cascades out of those!

Posted 4 years 3 months ago #62694There is an artistic issue. Technique X seems wonderfully appropriate. Everyone else is doing X. Should I do X or something else?
As people around here say, it's your tree. Show us pictures.

@Ivan Mann, as you can see I went for the slanted design, thank you!
I didn't prune it hard, managed to hide the "Y" branching, and created sort of a Pierneef style.
Now when it blooms again, the flowers will have a nice contrast with the new off-white pot from Sergio Onodera, or so I hope!
Thanks for all of you that commented and suggested nice possibilities, you people rock!

Posted 3 years 3 months ago #72491I have tried loripetalum a couple of times and killed them every time. Are they particularly hard to put in a pot? They grow everywhere here so the climate must be OK.
