Hi Jun

Fantastic. Great to see the progress made. What really stands out for me is the way you find the best planting angel. The twin trunk for example, i did not see it going that way.
Thank you for sharing.

Jun, Well done. Perfect. I was very impressed.

Thanks Brett.

The proper planting angle sometimes doesn't come easily and takes even years to reveal itself. What we are doing in the initial planting I believe is not always the best placement for the tree. and the more get better and the more we observed the tree/s thru time we see something new and better.

Well what can I say Invinh... I am happy that you like the results. I hope to see you and learn from you the next time I visit Vietnam.

The Ixora is still a big favourite!!
All are impressive.          

Now to play the Devil, what did you do with the tall tamarind?

A big well done bro!!!!
Glad to have you as family !   
Later.

* P.s. a BIG thank you for the bit on when you repot a tamarind. Growing only one for years, I missed the cold time bit, which on our side means death. So last year I lost a beautiful multi - headed tamarind, through repotting at the worng time. Couldn't figure out why, until you wrote. Thank's again.

Inspirational Jun.

You've worked these pieces well. I agree, I noticed a lot of angle changes while looking at the photos. Please post more!

Jun,
I don't comment as much as I should on your trees, but they really are fantastic. You seem to look at trees in very imaginative ways. Keep the great trees coming and continue to be a leading contributor on this forum.

Thank You,

Todd
