Nerifolia update

I posted this tree a couple of years ago & thought I'd show what it looks like today. It was leaf pruned on Saturday, and should be putting on the small reddish new leaves within 2 weeks. Haven't mossed it yet...sorry ! Comments welcome.

Ed....I have always loved seeing this tree, whenever you have chosen to post it....truly a stunning specimen in my eyes...it is always an inspiration to me. I would enjoy seeing it again as the new red-tinged leaves begin to appear.

Best regards,
Tom

Wow. My scissors fingers hurt just thinking about removing that many leaves.

Lovely tree, Ed.

stunning. The trunk/nebari is over the top. I am curious about the ramification and the resulting canopy. I have nothhing with that kind of fine development, so have no idea what happens when all those leaves get going. Is this a maintenance challenge ? I can see the foliage overtaking the tree as a whole very quickly. The tree is a magnificent sculpture as it stands. My sincere admiration goes out to you.
