I'm going to make a start showing off this magnificent fella



sorry about the sideways pic...but boards refuses to show it the right way round

Anyhow...this gorgeous tree started off working the Christmas period for three years in a pot..living outside otherwise...still in a pot. Was about 1- 1.2 m high at that point.

When it started looking a bit sorry for itself we took the pot away, dug a hole in front of the house...and here it is about 15 years later during its annual growth spurt.

It's about 3.5 m wide and I guess 7 m high by now
