Thanks Mike, I was hoping you'd see this and respond. Sorry, I remembered the tree, just couldn't recall whose it was.. in fact, I was bringing my own trees to the show at the same time you were arriving and took notice of yours immediately.....I kind of like the rarer stuff.
This is great, I'm glad you've had it in CO the whole time, makes me feel more confident. I've done a bunch of reading on them and what you're doing coincides with what I've learned...
Just wanted to hear from someone who appears to know how to grow them well.
Thanks!!!

Mike,
This my new one....the base is about 1 inch diameter at this point with two long branches coming off the top. I planted it slanted (because your design inspired me) and carefully wired the branches back across. The pot is a 12 inch oval.
