I think so...the top branch is coming out of the top of the trunk on the left side, about 2 inches from the chop. There was a branch growing right from the chop and it grew out all like 6 inches and then one day I came back to the house and it had died. Kinda strange...

Both dug and potted a couple month ago.

the Yeti is a 30 ounce...the box is all 2x6"....also i just built this table back in February. Pretty stoked with it. Solid as a rock!

I will be doing nothing else to weaken it. I will wire branches I like as needed. I've moved it to the bottom of this bench where it gets a little morning sun and then filtered sun rest of day. Gonna take a picture in a few with a reference for size.

so, the last picture with the cut paste is what I am leaning towards as a front, but I feel like it is too early to make that call. there are some angles near that image that also look great as a front.

Collected this out of my front yard Sunday. Have an older thread about the procedure for getting this thing up, but figured I would start a new thread for the future of this beast. Let me know thoughts, suggestions. Guessing it will take several years to get the growth i need for this to look...

Had to wait to get some pumice. Now I'm set. If I can get to it this week I will, otherwise this weekend but it's happened this week!

Sounds good. I only have a turface/pine bark mix. It''s all sifted to 1/4". I have access to a 28lb bag of pumice in the 3/8s range. Should I get that or will size be too large?

no you didn't, my misinterpretation. will post back when she's out of the ground!

oooh, I was thinking by something earlier you had said that I need something shallow to start to develop the root reduction process. So, I was thinking I need something more shallow. I can absolutely plant this thing in a standard grow pot those are cheap. So, I'll have a grow pot on hand (I...

Like your standard garden pot from a garden center?
