I been itchin to cut off a funky back branch. This here....
Cuz it's not doing anything till the end.
It's ugly. And a little big. And big ugly.
A while back my "almost tree" was like...
You should cut off this one...
Boy is raw!
I could Probly get a bud there if I cut it....
But that other branches branch is ready to take its place in "mass" (lol. That's what we called parking lot passrounds at Guitar Center. Mass.) but that's not what I. Talking about in this case.
Cuz mass is its only real objective from the front.
Nothing interesting.
But the moss is got Damn nice.
You can see the 3 different types.
I love moss.

You've taken this guy quite far and added a lot of character in a short time, I'm impressed sorce! Its turning into something real nice.
You know, after all this time on the forum I just realized while writing this post that I don't know your real name! That is, unless its Sorce...

The leaves will reduce! My name Benjamina has quarter inch leaves when it's happy. It dried out a few weeks back and last some branches so it's in recovery but with pretty consistent pruning they get small!

Hey how tall is this guy atm?
How big was it when you started working it?
I have one that's a bit thicker then a pencil and 8''- 9'' high. I'd like to start working it .
I plan on keeping it under 12'' and its being trained on a rock atm.

I got tired of the reverse taper this was creating....so I am guiding the healing.
Clamp has nothing to do with this...
And the clamp popped off so I have to put it back on!
Watch I'll get bark there from the trauma!
That skypoker is getting cut back later...looking for buds lower.
