Pierneef (flat top) rain tree discouragement

A Rain tree has a very unusual trunk development mode so I wouldn't worry too much about taper when developing one, just do what the tree wants to do and take advantage of the flat sections to make an interesting tree.

Here you go Sam, I got mine defoliated today. Tomorrow its getting re-potted and refined some more.



Oh, and I thought I would through this little fukien tea in since the same style was applied to it

Great job Reggie. Are you going to do a full repot or just slip pot it?

Thanks for keeping us updated!!!!
Have a great week!!!
Sam
