F. Tea progression (cascade )

[MountainExplorer]

Took this ugly Fukien tea, named it " The Claw" chopped the top and decided on cascading style and haven't touched it all winter. I don't think I'll touch it for a while and let it grow out.

Digging the style tho

Good idea. I've noticed that Fukien Tea has stiff hard to wire branches once they've grown and hardened so I'd try to wire before they really lignify. They grow fast with coarse soil and heavy feeding. The ones I've had have been pest magnets so I haven't had much luck keeping them more than a couple years. Watch out for mealybugs.
