Euonymus alatus

This is my euonymus alatus. Its been pot grown for about 10 years (5 of those neglected). This is where I have got to so far.

I am quite happy with the root base and trunk.

However the branches need some work – the lowest especially needs to thicken up to carry the rest of the design.
Feel free to comment...
The apex has been drastically pruned recently to remove some unnecessary branches which is why it looks bare.
This is the tree from the back

And a close up of the leaves (and too thin lower branch) and flower buds.

Did you post the images using the internal system or are they linked to an external source such as Flickr?


I just uploaded a test pic with no problems so the Servimg system seems to be okay.

they are linked through flikr... was that a mistake? whenever i tried to link them using the internal system i was given a message saying that the url was incomplete?

It may just be that Flickr is down for some sort of maintenance or whatever at the moment.

However, perhaps you could try the internal system again: HERE IS THE LINK
I'd make the following suggestion though:

When you get to the third screen, instead of clicking on Copy, just click on the middle bit of text instead so that it is highlighted (you can tell - the blue highlight shows). Then use your normal keys for copy (with me it's Control + C). Move your cursor to the bit in the post where you want the pic to go and do your normal Paste (Control + V for me). You still have to press Upload though.

Try again and let us know if it still doesn't work.

Fiona, and the new tutorials, have been most helpful - finally here are the pictures!
Feel free to comment.
Thanks Fiona

This tree hasn't been repotted in about 4 years but is happily pushing out new growth this year.
The rain is quite relentless though. Do I need to move it out of the rain to let the pot dry out or will it cope?
