Well Epcot is just a few weeks away and I have completed the final pruning on this tree for display. I have also darkened the bark and bleached the shari with two coats of lime sulfur. I feel that these trees can look a bit too. “topiary” if they get too full. So I tried to show off more of the trunk and really separate the branch to make it more like a tree. Look for it at Epcot Apr 5 – Jun 3 2007. Mar 2007

Hey what do you know? I finally remembered to take a picture when this tree had leaves on it. Notice how the branches are much closer to the trunk than they used to be before my new wiring. It is just a more balanced tree now, and really looking great. Mar 2007

Now we are making progress. Another 6 months have past, and here we are the first day of Spring 2007. The branches have really filled in and the thin trunk is practically covered. I have focused more on pulling the branches down in order to give it a more thicker canopy. More branch development this year and hopefully next year this tree will be ready for show. Mar 2007

Not many changes to report over the past 6 months. I want to focus on leaf reduction this year and get the canopy much healthier and compact. We’ll see. Mar 2007
