Pic 6. As the tree is about 40 years old and grown as a garden tub plant, the tap root was not properly cut and there is still a massive piece of timber underneath. I have already taken some 80% of the root ball off, I am not going to risk the tree by taking more timber off, as aresult is potted high up, the seroius stuff have to come next year. Comment please. The good the bad and the ugly, if I have taken the wrong approach.

Yep, a very pleasing result from a very average piece of stock - just goes to show.

Wasn't it Narker who said 'find the smallest tree in the tree'

If you continue to do today, the same as you did yesterday, you will get the same results tomorrow.
