    That pot by Izabella is awesome. Really diggin that. Please send my compliments to her.
    Nice work on the Port AF. And lesson learned, crotch growth is not desired.
    I like the idea of taking the big one down and making a second large tree out of the upper half.
    By the way, my cubs would eat those cuttings clean. Lately I’ve been coming home to find some of my trees magically missing a few leaves. I wouldn’t mind so much if they kept my vision in mind.
